Ingredients

  • 20 ounces small jarred whole artichokes
marinade
  • 3/4 cup mild or pure olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced, or more to taste.
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp italian herb blend
  • 1/2 tsp each salt and fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red chili pepper flakes, or more to taste.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Load your artichokes into a jar and pour the marinade over them. You want to completely submerge the artichokes.
  4. Cover and refrigerate overnight before serving. The marinated artichokes will last up to 2 weeks, refrigerated.
  5. 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.
