10:48 am May 18th, 2011This year, I tried artichokes in a soup. It was velvety and delicate, and a departure from my usual ways of preparing them.

Your artichoke recipes look delicious!
I made Roasted Asparagus with Goat Cheese, Toasted Walnuts and Balsamic Glaze for Easter dinner this year. Recipe is really easy and it’s delicious!

2:19 pm May 18th, 2011Wow – that rice salad looks amazing. We love artichokes and I’m always looking for new things to try – thanks!
4:16 pm May 18th, 2011I love artichokes and am hoping these all look great. I recently made some lemon and thyme braised baby artichokes for the first time. I enjoyed them a lot. http://savorymomentsblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/lemon-and-thyme-braised-baby-artichokes.html
4:27 pm May 18th, 2011Wow – the detail of that first photo and all of your other photos just knocked my socks off! You are a very talented photographer and cook – I’m loving all your recipes and your blog in general! So happy to have found you. I’ll be returning soon, that’s for sure.
4:30 pm May 18th, 2011I have developed an obsession with artichoke hearts, so I have added them to pasta with some garlic, red pepper flakes and a dash of lemon! Perfect for a spring time dinner!

7:50 pm May 18th, 2011I think I put my artichoke recipe in the wrong comments post. So, I’ll put it over here with artichoke offerings! This was probably one of my favorite chicken dishes this spring so I am happy to share it with your readers. BTW, we always have hummus so I enjoy your artichoke hummus recipe. Right now we have roasted red pepper hummus. Here is the link for “Fennel and Artichoke Fricassee”

OOhhh I’m looking forward to the pea portion of Spring Fling!
Also, I want to dip leaves from a grilled artichoke in your chipotle ranch. Just try to stop me – you can’t!
6:29 am May 19th, 2011At our house we always have a “spring fling” with artichokes. Sadly, they are not as beautiful as they are straight from the farms of California, but we love them just the same.
Here is a simple way to prepare/eat them.

6:55 am May 19th, 2011While fresh artichokes are a bit rare in MN, sometimes frozen and canned hearts can fill in, like in the Spinach and Artichoke dip I like to serve at parties ( http://themessyapron.blogspot.com/2010/12/party-dip.html ) and this salad ( http://themessyapron.blogspot.com/2010/03/three-grains-are-better.html ) with whole grains, white beans, and, of course, artichoke hearts. I’m sure fresh artichokes would be even better!
7:56 am May 19th, 2011Here’s another artichoke treat: Sicilian Stuffed Artichokes (my grandmother’s recipe) http://www.fortycloves.com/2011/03/stuffed-artichokes-.html
12:46 pm May 19th, 2011As a super practical cook, I enjoy the sweet flesh of artichokes the simplest way I can — steamed, with a yummy, easy dip: http://getcookingsimply.com/?p=2702
1:51 pm May 19th, 2011Artichokes are plentiful here in coastal northern California. With our cool spring this year, they are still available at local farmers markets and grocery stores. Not all that common for late May.
And another artichoke treat: Artichoke Hearts Oreganata

Great timing! Just bought some baby artichokes and was looking for something a little different to do with them. Thanks!!
