Walnut, Bacon and Rice Stuffed Artichoke - Feast Your Eyes

by Alexa Weibel, Posted Nov 24th 2009 @ 10:00AM

We love giving the extra nod to seasonal cooking by serving dishes in an edible container, be it stuffed squash, tomatoes, bell peppers, or, in this case, an artichoke. Not only is the result visually pleasing, but its flavor benefits from added depth and complexity.

In the pictured Walnut, Bacon and Rice-Stuffed Artichoke, the Eddybles blogger sautéed a base of onion, garlic and double-smoked bacon with tomatoes and lemon juice before adding rice, Parmesan and basil. But, as she writes, the dish is in fact a "two chapter meal." After enjoying the warmed salad, you reach the meaty artichoke petals, saturated with the drippings of the sautée. The best part is thus saved for last, when you deconstruct the artichoke bowl and savor the richness of each seasoned petal.
