Notes
- Type of artichokes to use - you want to look for jarred artichoke hearts in oil, it doesn't matter if they are whole, halved or quartered. Spoon the artichokes out of the oil into a bowl or processor.
- Consistency - If your pesto is too thick, add a little more oil that the artichokes were jarred in to emulsify it more.
- Serving suggestions - serve the pesto on crusty toasted bread to make bruschetta, with cured meats and cheese or even use as a pasta sauce.
