Do you know how to make artichokes? Like me, you might have tried and failed before but I finally figured out a great recipe for a sauce. I asked so many people, "how do you cook an artichoke?" It seems a lot of people have never made artichokes before because I couldn't get any advice except online. My mission to make a delicious artichoke sauce started about twelve years ago when I ate at a local Cuban restaurant in Gulfport, FL. They had a dish with fish covered in Artichoke sauce and it is still one of the best dinners I have ever tasted. This is a white wine sauce that can be served over seafood, chicken, pasta or even vegetables.
Ingredients:
2 Artichokes (I used fresh but canned or frozen hearts might work)
2 sticks butter or equivalent amount of EVOO
1 1/2 Tbsp. Garlic (I used powder but 4-5 crushed cloves would be easier)
3-5 ounces Drinking White Wine
1 Tbsp. Salt
2 tsp. Basil
1 tsp. Rosemary
1 tsp. Pepper
2 Tbsp. Flour or 1 Tbsp. Corn Starch
1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Savings: ?
I have only had this once and I have no idea how much it cost and it's not exactly the same. fresh artichokes are not cheap, so the canned or frozen will save a lot time and money but I haven't tried it yet.
