Artichoke Relish With Sun Dried Tomatoes And Olives Recipes

5-INGREDIENT ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• As you peel the artichokes, place each heart in a large bowl with water and lemon halves (squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl). See images and instructions above on how to peel artichokes. Skip this step if using frozen or canned artichoke bottoms.
• Once the artichokes are clean and ready, you have two options, you can make the salad with raw artichokes or you can saute them lightly with a little olive oil for 5-7 minutes or until golden. In either case, cut them into thin slices.
• Place the artichokes at the bottom of a large plate. Top with olives and sun-dried tomatoes and chives.
• Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss gently.

Put them into the oven and roast for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
