Marinated Artichoke Hearts
The best healthy marinated artichoke hearts recipe ~ from scratch with quality fresh ingredients. Say goodbye to stale store-bought versions!
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Artichoke small, whole, jarred
marinade
- 3/4 cup olive oil mild or pure
- 4 Tbsp lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 3 Tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1 clove garlic finely minced, or more to taste
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp italian herb blend
- 1/2 tsp black pepper fresh cracked
- 1/2 tsp salt fresh cracked
- 1/2 tsp crushed red chili pepper flakes or more to taste
Instructions
- Drain your artichokes and slice in half if they are small, in quarters if they are large. I leave very small ones whole. Drain on paper towels while you make your marinade.
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients and give it a taste to adjust any of the ingredients. I added a bit of extra salt and oregano to mine. And because I used a stronger olive oil, mine needed a bit of sugar to balance that out.
- Load your artichokes into a jar and pour the marinade over them. You want to completely submerge the artichokes.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight before serving. The marinated artichokes will last up to 2 weeks, refrigerated.
- Olive oil can solidify in the fridge, so simply leave it out on the counter to liquify before serving. This is a natural result of its healthy monounsaturated fats, and is completely normal.
Notes
- If you use olive oil and you feel your marinade is slightly bitter, add a touch of sugar to balance it out. Start with 1/2 teaspoon.
- Leftover marinade can be use in salad dressings or in cooked dishes like soup.
