Artichoke Gondolas Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
4 large: Artichokes, fresh
3/4 cup: Sun-dried tomatoes,
1 small: Eggplant, peeled & diced
2 cup: Vegetable stock,
1/4 cup: Onion, chopped
1 tbsp: Basil, chopped
1 tbsp: Oregano, chopped
2 each: Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp: Black pepper,
Directions:
Prepare the artichokes by washing under running water, pulling off the
tough outer leaves & trimming the stem so that it can stand upright.
Steam until a petal near the centre pulls out easily, depending on
the size of the artichoke, this can take anywhere from 25 to 40
minutes. Remove from steamer.
Halve artichokes lengthwise, remove & discard the centre petals & the
fuzzy centres. Remove outer leaves & reserve. Trim out the hearts &
chop finely. Set aside.
Pour boiling water over the sun-dried tomatoes & let stand for 10
minutes before draining. Set aside. Meanwhile, simmer the eggplant
in the stock for 10 minutes, drain.
Blend the eggplant, tomatoes & the rest of the ingredients in a
processor until smooth. Stir in the artichoke hearts. Arrange
artichoke leaves on a serving platter. Spoon one teaspoon of the dip
onto the wide end of each leaf & serve.
