The Cabin Fever has set in, not knowing where else to
turn I wandered the frozen food aisle at the market looking for an escape. Artichoke hearts, how could I have not
noticed these before? After defrosting
them in a plastic bag submerged in warm water I threw them into a frying pan on
medium heat with enough extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom. I’ve never been a big a fan of the soggy
canned artichoke hearts but these frozen ones crisped up beautifully tasting
very much like a fresh artichoke. Towards
the end I added a minced garlic clove, a pinch of chili flakes, and a squeeze
of lemon and savored them one by one.
They would have been nice in a pasta dish, salad, or served with fish or
chicken but I just couldn’t wait. The
next day I bought two more boxes to keep in the freezer for when I again need a
reminder of warmer days…I don’t think they’ll be in there for long.
