baby artichoke bruschetta

printBtn convertBtn

method


Start by preparing the artichokes, peel them back to their pale, light leaves, then halve them and remove the hairy chokes with a teaspoon. Place them in a pan with just enough water to cover them. Add the garlic cloves and a little squeeze of lemon juice and cook until the stalks are tender.

Drain in a colander, then place the artichokes straight back into the empty pan with 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil and fry for 4 minutes to get a bit of color on them. When they're slightly golden, remove from the heat, squeeze in a little lemon juice, add the mint and season carefully to taste.

Remove 4 artichoke halves from the pan and put to one side, then mash all the rest in the pan, using a fork to squash the garlic out of the skins (throw the skins away).

Smear across your basic bruschetta, tearing one of the reserved artichoke halves over the top of each. PS. It's also really nice to add a handful of freshly grated Parmesan to the mashed-up artichokes.


• from Jamie's Italy

ingredients


• 8 baby artichokes
• 4 cloves of garlic
• juice of 1 lemon

If you add a part of a good white wine (french tarique or spanish godello) with the water, the result is also great!

Hi,
Resently I watched an episode of Jamie at Home called Pickles and Preserves. On the show Jamie made a home made ketchup that I would be really interested in getting the recipe for. However, I am unable to find it. Can you help me out?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Nicole

Saw an advert of Tv the other day in London. You steamed salmon and wrapped it in potatoes.I missed the rest .. Can I have the recipe. It looked delicious.

18. by Rhys on Thu 26 Jun 2008 @ 05:04

Howdy,
Was watching your "Jamie At Home" series here in oz a couple of months ago and you banged down a mighty mean looking souffle. Lightly fry a couple of vegies, add the egg and jam the whole shooting match in the oven, frying pan an all.......and walah souffle!. Slamming, love ya style, a real mans way of cooking. Dam you for making it look so easy. After 3 miserable attempts I am desperately searching the net for answers. The foodnetwork was of no real help for us poor folk down here in convict territory. I've obviously missed something and would love to know what or how? I have my suspicions about our fan forced oven!
Cheers Rhys

Hi, I'm Connie and I work for the food magazine "Eat & Travel Weekly" in HK. At the moment I'm writing an article on welsh lamb, I heard that your restaurant, fifteen, is using welsh lamb, therefore, I would like to ask your comments about this product. Thank you for your attention.

I watched "Jamie at Home" last night, and by reading the other posts here, I see that I'm not the only one that wants the homemade ketchup recipe!! Would love to know where to find it. Love your show Jamie, its my favorite on the food network!

I have been a vegetarian for 25 year but married to a meat eater. At last a book that gives simple meat dishes for me to cook and I hardly have to handle the meat just straight in the cooking dish. My husband is very pleased with the results "not over cooked at last" he says. ( i had no idea how to cook meat) I had to glue the 'bird' pages together though as it made me feel ill. I only cook meat that does not look too much in resemblance to the animal it came from.

Great veggie dishes as well though - thank you

23. by Megs on Thu 19 Jun 2008 @ 10:29

I'm also looking for your homemade ketchup recipe that you made with the steak and chips.

Seems to be very popular as I see other requests. I love your shows and have learned a lot about herbs and not being afraid to *just cook* and forget the recipe.........taste as you go and tweak where needed

24. by Julie Hughes on Thu 19 Jun 2008 @ 02:37

Hi Jamie,
I watch your program Olivers Twist and seen an episode which featured a Christmas dinner/barbecue. I missed the recipe for your bubble&squeak with brussel sprouts instead of cabbage. I'd love to try it as sprouts are in season here, I'm Scottish & live in New Zealand.
Thanks a million
Julie

25. by charlotte on Thu 19 Jun 2008 @ 00:57

Hey Jaime
Id love to get your pickled eggplant (aubergine) recipe you have! Id love to start learning how to pickle with my mom and saw the show where you made them and it looked crazy delish!
Thanks

Gidday Mate!

I too am looking for reciepies for school lunches. My son (6) cannot have colours, flavours, dairy and sugar (just to name the main culprits). He is very fast getting sick of marmite and honey rice or corn wafers. Any ideas? I went batty last week, don't know where i'm going this week. Thanks for any direction at all.

30. by Emma on Mon 16 Jun 2008 @ 06:32

I watched your show the other night and u did the most delicious looking BBQ marinated ribs, leg of lamb (spit roast style) and whole chicken. I would really love this recipe.

31. by Liisa on Mon 16 Jun 2008 @ 06:27

Hi, I just watched your show "Pickels & Preserves". You made a delicious home made tomatoe ketchup and I didn't write down the recipe as you went. I thought I would be able to access the recipe on the Food Network here in Candad but I can't, how sad!! I would love to make your ketchup, can you please help me???
Thanks so much,
Liisa from Canada

I have just been told I have Celiac (cannot eat wheat rye barley or oats) and am feeling a little over whelmed.
It is great to have so many of your recipes easy, nutritious and gluten free.

Thanks from Canada.

I watched your show this weekend and you made some lightly fried broadbean fritters with yogurt dip. I would love to find the recipe and am kicking myself for not making note of the ingredients.

Please help!

Thanks

Hi,

I saw a stuffed pepper recipe Jamie did on food network. Could you please give the recipe. Thanks so much.


Bob

35. by Tammy Smith on Sun 15 Jun 2008 @ 02:47

Thank you for having some dishes that do not have meat in them. I am vegetarian and do not eat any poultry or fish. Some of your vegetable recipes look wonderful and simple to make. I look forward to trying them. Thank you and please continue these types of recipes. Love your show "Jamie at Home"!!!

36. by Clare on Sat 14 Jun 2008 @ 20:36

For all of you looking for Jamie's recipes, you can find them on foodnetwork.com click on TV and choose his show. They are all on there. Good luck!!

37. by CAROL on Sat 14 Jun 2008 @ 14:50

I am watching your show on the food network. You made some falafal,( fava bean fritters). The recipe would not come up. I checked your site and it wasn't there. How can I get it? Thanks

38. by Kathy on Sat 14 Jun 2008 @ 07:53

I watched your at home show today and wanted to find the recipe online but there is no place to do a search. You made an apple pie and a sort of quiche, I loved your pastry dough's and would love to make them. I can't find a subject they would be under just like the comment above, where do we go to find them Jamie?

39. by Robert Schnake on Fri 13 Jun 2008 @ 14:40

I liked the recipe for asparagus in a custard baked with a filo crust. I have looked for the recipe and couldn't find it. It seems so simple yet must be delicious. If it is located somewhere I would love to know.

Thanks.

40. by Tim on Thu 12 Jun 2008 @ 11:56

I really liked an idea you had on one of your episodes with asparagus in a custard baked with a filo crust. I have looked for the recipe and couldn't find it. It seems so simple yet must be delicious. If it is located somewhere I would love to know. Thanks.
