Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 globe artichokes
1 lemon, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 heads garlic, peeled and halved crosswise
1 1/2 cups white wine
1/2 cup Champagne vinegar
8 large sprigs fresh tarragon
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
10 black peppercorns
1 quart chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium
2 cups water
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

1 head frisee, rinsed, stems removed
1/4 pound ricotta salata cheese, thinly sliced or shaved
1/4 cup toasted green pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin-seed oil

Steps:

  • Slice the top 1/3 off each artichoke. Remove the outer leaves and rub the artichoke with lemon.

Add the herbs, peppercorns, stock and water. Add the artichokes, bring them to a boil and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the artichokes and cool.

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the avocados to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the avocado slices to keep them from browning.
  • Toast the pumpkin seeds in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Use a variety of greens for the salad, such as arugula, spinach, or romaine lettuce.
  • Add other vegetables to the salad, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or red onions.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing, such as a vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately after making it, as the avocado will start to brown over time.
