FYI it has been proven that artichokes help stabilize the sugars of the body & many diabetics are recommended to eat them. I personally dont ever remember eating them so dont know what they taste like. Anyone try it & eat them regularly to assist in sugar control?

The boards are so serious lately (rightfully so) but I have to say this:

you can take the humble artichoke heart (canned, NOT the marinated in oil kind), chop it up and load it up with freshly grated parmesan cheese, mayonaise, garlic powder and maybe a little dill weed, I'll have to look for the exact recipe, but mix it all together and bake it and eat it on toasted baguette slices. And you'll have the added bonus of eating 5 million calories per serving ...... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Since this clearly would not be recommend for a diabetic, you can also steam them fresh and eat them sprinkled with lemon juice. They do have a wonderful flavor.

I've tried them once. I made this mixture of sausage, garlic, pine nuts, etc to put into it, and it wasn't that bad. It was just time consuming to make.

I have a really good artichoke dip recipe. It is foolproof. All you do is take a can of artichoke hearts and cut up in smal pieces and put in a bowl. Add to this bowl mayo, and lots of shredded mozzerela cheese and some onion and garlic poweder. Mix it up and back at 350 til bubbly hot and serve on crackers or coctail bread. It is really good!!!!


Enjoy!!!

We throw them in pasta with sundried tomatos, kalmata olives, capers, garlic... Whenever we go out for italian food, I end up choosing something with artichoke hearts in it -- chicken scallopini at macaroni grill, spicy chicken alfredo at johhny carinos...

I also make artichoke dip -- 2 cans chopped artichoke hearts, 1 cup parmessan (sp) cheese, 1 cup mayo, little garlic powder, 1 can chopped green chilis. Mix together. Put in casserole and bake til bubbly at about 350. Serve with crackers.

When we were kids, my folks would buy artichokes. Steam them and serve them with lemon butter. Yuummmm!
