• Combine lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic in a sealable plastic container.

MARINATED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with cold water and squeeze 3 of the lemons into it (this is known as acidulated water). Keep it off the heat for now. The cut artichoke hearts have to head straight into the lemon water to keep them from browning.
• Trim the artichokes: Lay an artichoke on its side and trim the brown woody tip of the stem. Using a very sharp or serrated knife, cut the top one-third of the thorny artichoke leaves off, leaving a flattened top. Use your hands to tear off the toughest outermost leaves from around the bottom of the artichoke, leaving most of the leaves untouched. Lay the artichoke on the board again and this time cut it in half lengthwise, from stem to top. Using a paring knife or a peeler, carefully peel off the outermost layer of the stem. Use a spoon to scrape away the inedible furry choke in the center of the artichoke. Voila-you have an artichoke heart! Quick, put it in the acidulated water. Repeat to trim the rest of the artichokes.
• Poach the artichokes: Add more water to the pot if needed to cover the artichokes. Season the water with 3 tablespoons salt. Place the pot over medium-low heat and bring the water to a simmer. Poach the artichokes for about 15 minutes, or until they're easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain the artichokes. Transfer them to a large bowl and set aside.
• Marinate the artichokes: In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic halves cut-side down and sear them until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the thyme and tarragon. Squeeze the remaining 3 lemons into the pan and throw in the squeezed lemon halves as well. Add the wine and simmer on high heat until it has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 4 cups olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring the marinade to a boil, then turn off the heat.
• Carefully pour the hot marinade over the artichokes and stir to combine. Transfer the artichokes and marinade to mason jars with lids or airtight containers and refrigerate. Marinate for at least 1 hour, but ideally overnight, before serving. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

PASTA WITH MARINATED ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Drain liquid from the marinated artichokes into a skillet.
• Slice the drained hearts into bite sized pieces.
• Add olive oil and butter to artichoke marinade and heat. Add onions and saute until soft (about 5-8 minutes).
• Add artichoke heart pieces and basil to the skillet and saute 3-5 minutes more.
• Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.
• Toss the pasta with the warm sauce.

FRIED ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Drain artichoke hearts.
• In separate bowls, set out buttermilk, flour, and Panko.
• Dip artichoke hearts in buttermilk, then dredge in flour, then dip in buttermilk again, then dredge in Panko.
• Cover and refrigerate 4-24 hours.
• While oil is heating, prepare sauce in a small saucepan by combining butter, lemon juice, garlic, and white wine.
• In small batches, fry artichoke hearts until golden brown, drain on paper towels. Transfer to serving plate. Drizzle sauce over top, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve hot with additional sauce for dipping.

ARTICHOKE HEARTS AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray a shallow baking dish or glass pie plate with cooking spray.
• Arrange artichoke hearts in the bottom of dish. Drizzle 1/4 cup salad dressing over artichokes.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove, spread cheese over the top, and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup salad dressing. Return to oven, and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Turn off oven. Sprinkle fried onions over the top, and return to oven for 1 minute.

MARINATED ARTICHOKE HEARTS WITH GREEN OLIVES AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Fit a large pot with a steamer rack; add water until it reaches just below rack. Place artichokes in steamer, stem-sides up. (If necessary to fit, trim top third from each with a serrated knife.) Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and steam, adding more water as needed, until the tip of a knife slides in and out of stems easily, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove artichokes; when cool enough to handle, remove leaves and reserve for another use. Scoop out and discard chokes. Cut hearts into halves or quarters.
• Combine oil, peppercorns, thyme sprigs, lemon zest, garlic, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until bubbles form around edges; remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, then artichoke hearts; let stand, tossing occasionally, until cool, about 30 minutes. Stir in olives. (Dish can be made to this point and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brush cut sides of bread with oil; season with kosher salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet; toast until golden brown on edges, about 8 minutes.
• Arrange artichoke mixture on a platter with cheese. Garnish with thyme sprigs and flowers, sprinkle with Hawaiian or kosher salt, drizzle generously with oil, and serve with toast.
