what to serve with artichokes
They looked so good at the market, and they were cheap, so I bought two.
I'll steam them and serve with lemon tarragon butter. I was also planning mushroom risotto, to use up the box of shrooms I bought several days ago. I'm not sure what meat/protein main dish would go with that. I've got frozen fish steaks, bulk ground pork, bulk pork sausage, bacon, kielbasa, frozen ground turkey, and hot dogs. My husband's been out of work and we're living off the sale items in the deep freeze. I welcome your suggestions. Dawn |

Make a mix of the ground pork and diced mushrooms, season with salt & pepper and garlic, a small dice of green onion or shallots wont hurt. Trim the bottom and tops of artichoke leaves, removing the tough outer leaves, force open the artichoke and stuff the insides with the meat mix. Place the stuffed artichokes on a bed of onions, carrots & celery cut into small dice, in a braising pan just big enough to hold them all upright. Moisten with stock, cover and cook till done, adding more liquid if necessary. When ready to serve, remove the chokes and keep warm while preparing a sauce from the braising liquid. Pass the braising liquid through a fine strainer, de fat and add a bit of white wine, reduce a bit and serve over the chokes. Note: the French recipe the above is adapted from uses a demi glace to add to the braising liquid to bring the quantity up to the necessary amount. A bit of unfiltered apple cider can be used in place of the recommended white wine. Or make a roux and add milk or stock to form a sauce to add to the braising liquid. --- JL |

It'll be pizza, of course! Skip the risotto, cut up the artichokes, mushrooms, sausage, find some cheese to throw on that... mmmmmn! If I hurry I can get the dough started.... Dawn |

Wow, the last time I went to the store, they still had artichokes for $2.50 each, too rich for my pocketbook -- I'm glad you got a good price. > I'm not sure what meat/protein main dish would go with that.

Hmmm, okay, if it was me I'd make some turkey patties -- maybe mix the defrosted turkey meat with some bread or cracker crumbs, some chopped onion, a few seasonings, and grill or fry in a little olive oil... -- "Little Malice" is Jani in WA ~ mom, Trollop, novice cook ~ |

Eggs Sardou Toasted English muffins (open-faced) a layer of sauted spinach followed by an artichoke heart, followed by a poached egg and drowned in hollendaise sauce. Sad thing is, I haven't had it in as many years! [sigh] Andy |

Save that one for next month!! Funny you asked, we're having artichokes tonight for my daughter's birthday dinner. She's turning 10, and whole steamed artichokes are her favorite food in the world! (That and mac& cheese) I paid $3.99 apiece for em at the gourmet market - ouch! But they told me they had been 4.99 last week, so i count my blessings. So, for her decadent birthday dinner, here's our menu. Starter: steamed shrimp with green goddess dipping sauce Main meal: mini quiches with jarlsburg cheese, steamed artichokes with lemon butter, and orzo pasta. Possibly a green salad to add an element of crunch. And a bowl of fresh raspberries. Dessert: cake of course! |

But they told me they had been > 4.99 last week, so i count my blessings. Why wait a month for spinach? Did they remove the frozen spinach from the supermarket freezers, too? On the flip side, Southeastern PA hasn't gotten fresh or affordable artichokes in months. They don't even squeak! I hate putting up with the jarred or frozen bagged artichoke hearts. They're more leaves than heart. The BUMS!!! Andy |

The cheapest I have ever seen them is 2/$1, but I think that usually happens in the spring. Dawn |

I use a lime based mayo. Yogurt perhaps.... Something about artichokes makes milk dishes a bit stronger and richer, but that's just personal experience!!!!!!!!!! -- Peace, Om Remove extra . to validate e-mails.
