I was grocery shopping yesterday, and I couldn't get my eyes off of cute mini artichokes from California. Ah, the gorgeous produce from California! I bought these artichokes and stuffed them with a marjoram stuffing. I'm a fan of the entire artichoke - the leaves and the heart.Artichoke hearts taste delicious plain or thrown into a salad. They can also make the perfect braised chicken dish. In Italy, artichoke hearts are mixed with olive oil and transformed into an exquisite spread that's often applied to pizza. Besides stuffing the flower, you can also deep fry it. Or, you can simply go for steamed artichokes with an aioli dip.
Not only are artichokes eaten, but they are also used in drinks. In Vietnam, they're made into an herbal tea. And, in Italy the Italian bitter apéritif liqueur Cynar has artichoke as its primary flavor.
Below are 8 different artichoke recipes:
- Chicken with Artichoke Hearts
- Cream of Artichoke Soup
- Artichoke Dip
- Arugula and Baby Artichoke Salad
- Fried Artichokes
- Artichoke and Smoked Tuna Tart
- Steamed Artichokes with Herb-Caper Mayonnaise
- Falsone's Roasted Artichoke-Stuffed Artichokes
My beloved San Francisco Forty-Niners aren't
playing in upcoming the Super Bowl (and they've sucked since the 90's) so really, I have no interest in it. But, boy do
I love football food. In my opinion the snacks should be easy and adundant. Here's a delicious dip that you can
whack together in minutes. Make sure you get out and throw around the pigskin after eating this—it's rich.
