Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium artichokes
4 bacon slices
2 vine-ripened tomatoes
1 shallot
3 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • With a serrated knife cut artichoke stems flush with bottoms. Cut off and discard top inch from artichokes. In a saucepan cover artichokes with salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer artichokes, covered, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While artichokes are cooking, coarsely chop bacon and in a skillet cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. With a slotted spoon transfer bacon to paper towels. Halve and seed tomatoes and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Finely chop shallot and capers. In a bowl combine lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in oil in a slow stream until emulsified and add bacon, tomatoes, shallot, and capers.
  • Drain artichokes upside down on a rack and arrange each on a plate. Separating leaves slightly, drizzle vinaigrette between leaves and onto plates.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover artichokes. The vinaigrette is also a great way to add some extra flavor to the artichokes.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

The artichokes were a bit too sour for my taste, but the vinaigrette was delicious. I think I'll try roasting the artichokes next time.
