Seems like I read somewhere that you just need to boil them or something before you use them as you would canned ones? I have never used a fresh artichoke in anything.

I made a sugar free cream cheese based frosting. I just noticed, whilst trying to find them, that she has a whole slew of different cupcakes up there. I may have to try and healthy up one or two for Christmas! http://annies-eats.com/category/dessert/cupcakes/ No, those are here: Sweet Potato Cupcakes – I didn’t make the frosting she used, though.

I actually just bought a fresh artichoke, I have never been into artichokes, well at least not into them very much but now I am ALL about them. I think I can pul this recipe off.

Let me know how it works out for you, though, right after you do up the chocolate deviled eggs. :D I didn’t try it, so I can’t speak to it one way or the other.

Sautee the artichoke mash... make a ball out of some of it... Then roll it in the breadcrumb mess to coat. That's it. :) The balls will "set" a bit prior to serving, even though rolling them in the first place is a bit of a fragile process. I've often wondered if browning the completed balls themselves would make them look nicer, but it's absolutely not necessary to get the taste I like. In fact, I think the breadcrumbs may need to stay soft, as they tend to absorb up the flavors. The whole thing just kind of mingles around with itself to get the final unique texture. No baking.

Am I missing something or do you just mash em, mix em, saute them and then serve them? Do they get baked in the oven first? Sounds good.... Hi Vicky!
