Marinated Artichoke Hearts
The best healthy marinated artichoke hearts recipe ~ from scratch with quality fresh ingredients. Say goodbye to stale store-bought versions!
Servings: 8
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
- 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.
