7 Artichoke Recipes You Really Have to Try ...

Artichokes aren’t something I cook with all the time, so when I began my hunt for artichoke recipes I was pleasantly surprised with the wide range of things to make with them. That’s great because artichokes are full of fiber so they satisfy hunger with very few calories. They’ve also got a flavor that can’t be matched.

Tuna, Artichoke and Basil Stuffed Potatoes

Tuna, Artichoke and Basil Stuffed Potatoes This is one of my favorite artichoke recipes because it combines so many delicious flavors on one of my favorite foods – baked potatoes. This recipe has a lot more going for it though. It’s got lots of fresh ingredients and it’s loaded with vitamins and minerals. You just can’t go wrong!

Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes, scrubbed
2 - 5 to 6-ounce cans light tuna
¾ cup nonfat plain yogurt
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided
1 6-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup shredded provolone cheese
1 plum tomato, finely chopped

Directions:

Bake the potatoes in the microwave (pierce with a fork first) on medium for about 20 minutes, or until soft. Use the potato setting if you have one. In a bowl, combine the tuna, yogurt, basil, artichoke hearts, scallions, capers, salt and pepper. Cut the top third off each potato, scoop out the insides and add to the tuna mixture. Use a fork to mash the potato into the tuna. Scoop an even amount of the potato mixture back into the skins and top with cheese. Microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Serve garnished with tomato and extra basil.

Roasted Artichokes

Roasted Artichokes My mouth waters just thinking about this yummy artichoke dish. It pairs really well with a thick, juicy steak or salmon filet. These fancy artichokes look like you slaved in the kitchen for hours when they only take a few minutes.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups olive oil
1 ½ cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 to 3 teaspoons crushed red chile flakes
12 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
6 globe artichokes, stems removed

Directions:

Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Stir together the oil, wine, oregano, chile flakes, salt and pepper together in a bowl and set aside. Cut about an inch off the top of the artichokes and pull the leaves apart. Put the artichokes in a baking dish, upright, and pour the oil mixture over the artichokes, making sure to get it down in among the leaves. Bake for 45 minutes, covered with foil. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Baste with the pan juices and serve.
