Roasted and Glazed Artichokes
-
2 fresh artichokes
-
6oz Honey Roasted Garlic sauce
-
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, de-stemmed
-
Pinches of salt and pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400º
-
Trim and prepare the artichokes
-
Cut off the bottom of the stem, 1" off of the top, pluck off the lowest leaves, and trim any pointy tips
-
-
Slice the artichokes in half
-
Use a spoon to remove the middles of the artichoke (aka: the "choke")
-
On the inner halves, baste with Honey Roasted Garlic sauce, sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper, and fill the center cavity with rosemary leaves
-
You can add some chopped garlic too, if desired
-
-
Holding the filling in tightly, flip the halves over so the leaves are now face-up
-
Thoroughly baste with the sauce (I usually make 3-4 passes, making sure to jam some between the leaves) and sprinkle with salt and pepper
-
Place in the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, until the leaves start to brown. Then, loosely cover with foil and continue to cook until tender and the leaves pull off easily (another 30 or so minutes)
-
Remove from the oven and set aside. Place butter and remaining sauce in a bowl and microwave until the butter has melted. Stir together, adding rosemary if desired.
-
Place everything on a platter and then serve and enjoy!
