Marinated Artichoke Hearts

You can choose to steam your own artichokes if they are in season, or go for the canned artichoke hearts in water. Very important that they are packed in water and nothing else.
 
It takes less than 5 minutes to whisk up this lovely fresh marinade and toss everything together. Best if they are prepared a night before, but a couple of hours of sitting in the fridge will work its magic too. Just remember to bring them to room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving!
Lemon Olive Oil Marinade for Artichoke Hearts
 
If you want to grill the artichoke hearts at this point, I strongly suggest using a veggie tray / basket so you don’t end up losing them in the grill. 
 
They go really well in a spinach artichoke dip, pizza bianca, tossed with aglio e olio pasta, fregola or in this capellini pomodoro. They make a nice topping on focaccia, this summery thin crust Italian pizza or bruschetta,. Throw them in a ricotta frittata, quiche, pasta salad, gratin, serve as an appetizer on this Italian antipasto platter.or turn them into a pasta sauce.

  1. Hi there! excited to try this recipe out! would 12 Oz or 14 Oz. canned artichoke hearts work in place of fresh steamed?

    I usually just eat them as is, or right out of a jar. This was a very tasty recipe and worth the effort I put in! Thanks for sharing!

    These were amazing even with the canned artichoke hearts. Will definitely make them a lot through the summer months.
