Artichokes With Rosemary Sauce Recipes

ARTICHOKES WITH ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove any discolored leaves and the small leaves at base of artichokes. Trim stems even with base of artichokes. Cutting straight across, slice 1 inch off tops and discard tops. Snip off points of remaining leaves with scissors. Rinse artichokes with cold water.
• Place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water in 4-quart Dutch oven (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place artichokes in basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Steam 20 to 25 minutes or until bottoms are tender when pierced with knife.
• Meanwhile, melt butter; stir in rosemary and lemon juice. Pluck out artichoke leaves one at a time. Dip base of leaf into rosemary mixture.

ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove stems from artichokes and cut off the top third.
• Cut artichokes in half, lengthwise, and scrape out the woody"choke" (using a spoon or knife is good, but I like a tomato shark); trim away rough purple tips from inside.
• Remove the lower outermost leaves and trim the prickly part off the top of the remaining leaves.
• Rinse and drain artichokes.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet, and place artichokes cut-side-down in the pan.
• Add chicken broth and wine to the pan, then bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are fork-tender.
• While the artichokes are cooking, prepare the sauce.
• Heat the butter in a small saucepan and add the rosemary and cook until lightly fragrant.
• Add half the remaining chicken broth, and stir to mix.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolks, lemon juice, cornstarch, and remaining chicken broth.
• Pour a slight amount of hot broth into the eggs to temper it, whisking well.
• Return egg yolk mixture to the saucepan, and whisk over low heat until sauce thickens, about 5-8 minutes.
• Serve the sauce over the cooked artichokes, or as a dipping sauce, whichever you prefer.
• To eat artichokes, remove leaves and run the leaf through your closed teeth, bottom end first, scraping off the flesh.
• When all the leaves are gone, the remaining heart is totally edible.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON ZEST, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze juice from two lemon halves into water. Cut off artichoke stems, peel them with a vegetable peeler, rub them all over with remaining lemon half (this prevents browning) and drop them into water.
• Use a heavy, sharp knife to cut top 1 1/2 inches off an artichoke. Pull out pale inner leaves from center. At the bottom, where leaves were, is a furry bed, the choke. Use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon works wonderfully) to scoop out choke. Next, using kitchen shears or a pair of scissors, trim pointy ends from outer leaves of artichoke. As you work, rub lemon half over cut parts of artichoke. When you are finished trimming, drop artichoke into bowl of lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• To prepare stuffing, in a large bowl combine lemon zest, bread crumbs, Parmesan, chopped parsley and rosemary. Mince 6 garlic cloves and add to bowl. Finely chop one carrot and add to bowl along with capers, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss.
• In a small roasting pan or baking pan large enough to hold artichokes, scatter onion slices. Add reserved artichoke stems, 4 sprigs parsley and remaining garlic cloves. Slice remaining carrot into rounds and add to pan.
• Holding artichokes over stuffing bowl, stuff choke cavity and in between the leaves with bread crumb mixture. Stand stuffed artichokes upright in pan and generously drizzle olive oil over center of each artichoke.
• Fill pan with water until it reaches 1/4 way up the artichokes. Add wine and remaining salt and pepper to water. Cover pan with foil and poke several holes in foil. Bake artichokes for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender; when done, a knife should be easily inserted into artichoke and a leaf should be easily pulled out.

ARTICHOKES IN A GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add seashell pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• Heat the olive oil and melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Mix in the garlic, basil, and artichoke hearts, and cook 5 minutes, until heated through. Toss with the cooked pasta to serve.

CRISPY JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES WITH ROASTED GARLIC & ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Soak the artichokes in cold water for 20 mins or so to loosen any dirt, then scrub them with a scourer, being sure to remove any grit. Halve the small ones and quarter the bigger ones, and put them in a roasting tin with the split garlic bulb and rosemary. Coat everything with the oil and season. Roast for 45-50 mins until tender inside and crispy outside.
• To finish, squeeze the softened garlic cloves from their skins and toss with the roasted artichokes, along with the mace, butter and lemon juice.

CHICKEN-ARTICHOKE PASTA WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add chicken, and cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Removed chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add onion, garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, artichoke hearts and rosemary to Dutch oven; saute 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Drain and remove from Dutch oven.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, wine and cream cheese to Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low, stir until cream cheese is completely melted, then gradually whisk in nonfat milk. Add chicken, vegetables, cooked fettuccine and Parmesan cheese, tossing gently.

LAMB CHOPS WITH ARTICHOKES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon orange peel; stir 30 seconds. Add artichoke hearts and broth; bring to boil. Cover; boil 5 minutes. Uncover; cook until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle lamb with remaining garlic and rosemary, then salt and pepper. Heat remaining oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb; sauté until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to platter.
• Spoon off fat from skillet with lamb. Add artichoke mixture; boil 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon artichoke mixture around lamb. Sprinkle with remaining orange peel and serve.

LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH ROASTED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Gently pat the artichoke hearts with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the artichoke hearts in a mound in the center of the baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon salt, season with pepper and gently toss to combine. Scatter the artichoke hearts in an even layer and roast for 20 minutes. Flip the hearts and roast for an additional 10 minutes, until browned and a little crisp around the edges.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or according to package directions.
• While the pasta cooks, in a serving dish large enough to accommodate the spaghetti, add the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the lemon zest; toss to combine. Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil; stir to combine. The mixture should resemble a thick paste.
• Place the serving dish next to the pasta pot. Scoop out and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of it over the Parmesan-lemon mixture; stir to thin out the mixture a little.
• Using tongs, lift out some of the spaghetti (with its cooking water still clinging to it) and transfer to the Parmesan-lemon mixture; quickly toss and drag the spaghetti in a circular motion around the dish to incorporate the sauce. Repeat until you have transferred and tossed all of the spaghetti.
• Add the butter, basil and 1 tablespoon of the pasta water to the spaghetti, and keep tossing until you have a silky sauce clinging to it. Add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
• Top with the roasted artichokes, a little more black pepper and torn basil, and serve.
