When I make this recipe in the Summer, I use fresh artichokes when they are available.
During the Winter months I use large artichoke hearts from a jar. To be honest, the flavour and texture are different but equally as good.
So as the snow fell outside my window this afternoon, I decided to whip these fried artichoke hearts up for lunch.
It’s so easy to make and absolutely delicious.
I used Parma ham as I have a big leg of it in my fridge. You could also use pork lardons or bacon with equally good results.
You could also leave the meat out and add other veggies to your fried artichoke hearts for a vegetarian version.
This fried artichoke hearts recipe has been around a while…
I spotted this recipe in my family cookbook. It was written my one of my great great aunts.
She lived near Monterey in California where fresh artichoke grow in abundance.
I wish I could have tried her cooking. She seems to have loved cooking. These fried artichoke hearts might look simple but it’s their simplicity that makes the dish so good.
So are you ready to start cooking?
Give this easy but delicious recipe a try. I think you are going to love this one.
