My wife’s birthday continues as the inspiration for this Spanish Marinated Artichoke Appetizer. This is the second of three appetizers I served (who needs dinner after all these appetizers). The first appetizer was a SPANISH TORTILLA topped with a ROMESCO SAUCE. I totally loved this artichoke recipe. It is so simple to prepare and I believe it is elegant and pretty unique to serve.
Spanish Marinated Artichoke
The recipe could not be simpler. The recipe begins with cooking garlic and tomatoes in olive oil and white wine. Once the flavor is infused into the tomatoes and the garlic is toasty, the pan is taken off the stove and cooled. This garlicky infusion is poured over roughly chopped artichoke hearts and served.
How easy is that? I am totally recreating this for guests when I am crunched for time. I know they will say they love it and I will be sure to tell them how that this took me a long time to make and was quite complicated. NOT! I found the recipe at KITCHEN TO NIRVANA. What a wonderful name. There is so much good content from fellow bloggers. If you need inspiration, just google a concept and open a few websites and see the creations from bloggers.
