Artichoke and Cheese Crostini
Crostini means “little toasts.” Small slices of baguette bread are browned in a little olive oil, grilled or toasted, and topped with artichokes and cheese. This is a delicious make-ahead addition for a buffet.
Braised Artichokes
Braising artichokes (slowly cooking them in a small amount of liquid) leaves them tender and flavorful. Spoon some of the braising liquid over them for serving.
Artichoke and Leek Tart
This artichoke and leek tart can use frozen artichoke hearts and ready-made puff pastry.
Artichoke and Potato Casserole
This Artichoke and Potato Casserole has “company” written all over it. It is a dish inspired by my Sicilian heritage. Sicilians love artichokes and deftly prepare them in unique ways: baked stuffed with breadcrumbs and cheese; slowly stewed with tomatoes and onions; fried so the leaves are as crisp as potato chips; and roasted in hot embers right on the ground!
Garden must-haves
It's finally springtime and finally time to get your hands dirty. So go ahead, play outside in the gardens and accessorize your favorite hobby with these great finds.
