Artichokes are high in antioxidants. This vegetable is a diuretic, can also reduce cholesterol levels and it can aid digestion. I love eating it on pizza, pasta and having it as a delicious dip.
Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. After, sauté the onions until they become translucent. Stir in the flour and season it with pepper and garlic salt. Mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes. Add the artichoke hearts, sour cream, cream, and 3/4 of the parmesan cheese. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Transfer the artichoke mixture to a baking dish. Top it with mozzarella and the remaining parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with minced parsley. Bake it for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and the edges turn brown. Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. It goes well with pita chips, crackers or French bread.
