Artichoke Hearts

[averygoodun42]

I have a big (BIG) jar of marinated artichoke hearts which I got for my Boxing Day party, and never did anything with because, well, yeah.

Anyway, I've been eying them all day today and have developed a real hankering for something with artichoke hearts in it, but was looking for suggestions.

Have any recipes, or even just ideas? That don't take a lot of time and/or effort?

I have only the vague beginnings of a salad recipe lurking in my mind involving the hearts, lettuce, white beans and... ?

Or maybe a pasta topper involving the hearts, beans and... tomatoes, I suppose, which would not thrill Geoff one bit (he loathes tomatoes unless they are processed out of recognition).

Oh, and I don't have any mushrooms at the moment, which just about every recipe I've looked up has included. In the title.

Anyway, if you have any ideas, please share!

If you have any creamed spinach in the house (frozen is fine) make spinach and artichoke dip.

I take the frozen spinach defrosted, add the artichoke hearts and parm cheese. Bake it in the oven for a few minutes and serve with crackers or bread.

I think those things are addicting - I always get the giant jar when I go to Costco! My favorite way to use them is on home-made pizza... (but I'll toss them in an Alfredo type sauce with pasta and bits of leftover ham or chicken breast, or have them in a tossed salad, or just plain out of the jar... :-)

Artichoke dip with toasted slices of french bread. Yummy!
