Artichoke hearts

[lyndalou]

I recently went to Sam's and bought a huge jar of artichoke hearts (not pickled). Now I don't know what to do with them. I know about the dip that everyone makes, but would appreciate any other suggestions.

I like this recipe Sam the Cooking Guy - Pasta with Artichokes
I usually add some cooked chicken and grape tomatoes, too.

This casserole from The Frugal Gourmet is very good.

We put them in salads, and I make an antipasto pasta dish with any antipasto ingredients I have on hand - Italian cured meats, cheeses, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, garbanzo beans, etc. I dress it with red-wine vinegar and olive oil, throw in some basil, pesto or oregano, S&P to taste - done. It's good hot or room temperature.

I like them on pizza

MY mother, when making some kind of Brisket, or roast , inn addition to carrots and potatoes, she would add the artichoke hearts to it. ( she would use the ones that were whole, not quartered.)

I've made shrimp scampi with the addition of artichoke hearts. I've used both jarred and frozen.

I like them in an omelette with marinara and cheese...

I love them in so many things, but one of my fave ways is roasted with a little olive oil, salt and fresh cracked black pepper. I did that the other day - turned on a good movie and just snacked on them.

I like to saute some in garlic butter.

I get mine canned, so I rinse thoroughly first. You might want to taste the liquid they are in. Mine have a citrus like flavor which I don't care for.

Dry or sweet vermouth?

 

[pacanis]

I keep a bottle of dry on hand. It's my goto when a dish calls for white wine because it keeps forever and I'm not a wine drinker. I like the flavor.

They are very good deep fried in a beer batter or a tempura batter. You can drain them, dry them and do them whole or chop them and deep fry them as fritters. Good served with a dipping sauce of ranch dressing with a squirt of lemon juice or a big pinch of cayenne. Good pub food!

Marinate some and use them in panini sandwiches with cheese, tomato, red onion, cooked chicken or deli meats, etc. Yum!!!

That sounds great.

Wow, I love all these ideas. I'll have to pick up a big jar next time I'm in Costco.

I make a mushroom garlic smothered chicken dish and tuck them between the chicken pieces before I finish the dish in the oven. There's something about that gravy having a perfect balance for the artichoke hearts. It makes a pretty presentation too.

As always you all have come across with some great ideas. tonight, I will saute them in garlic butter to go with a skirt steak I have marinating. Thank you All for the great ideas.

 

[pacanis]

I think the ones I buy are already marinated. I'll have to check the jar in the cupboard.

 

[Andy M.]

The marinated ones are great on a salad.

I have had them that way and liked it. I usually just eat them the way they come out of the jar, maybe on a snack plate with cheese, crackers, and olives.
