Chilled Artichokes Wspicy Mustard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Wash each artichoke and slice off both ends so that it can sit flatly on a surface. Immediately rub the cut ends with the lemon half to prevent discoloration. Cut away any ragged leaves, and snip off the sharp edges of the leaves with a kitchen scissors. Steam the artichokes in a vegetable steamer, or on a rack in a pot with 1 inch of water and cook for 40 to 45 minutes, over medium heat, or until a leaf can be removed easily. (Be careful not to let the water boil away.) Remove from the pan with tongs, drain thoroughly and chill in a covered container in the refrigerator. 2. Whisk the sauce ingredients together and chill until ready to use. 3. Serve each chilled artichoke with a small container of sauce, garnished with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Place each artichoke on its side on a flat surface. Use a serrated knife to saw off the stem at the base of the artichoke so it can sit upright on a plate without falling over once cooked.
• In a large pot, add 3 inches of water. Insert a steamer basket. Place the artichokes top-down in the basket, wedged in a single layer. Cover. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. If the pot runs out of water while cooking, simply add more to the bottom.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, capers, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the chives.
• Serve the artichokes with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Break off the artichokes' small outside leaves. Cut off the top with a knife and trim the sharp points of the leaves with scissors, rubbing with cut lemon as you go to avoid discoloration. Squeeze the lemon halves into a bowl of cold water, soak the artichokes for 10 minutes, then wash with cold water to remove sand.
• Place artichokes in a large steamer insert over simmering water and steam until heart is tender, about 25 to 35 minutes depending upon size. Allow to cool. Cut in half lengthwise and remove choke with a spoon.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Stir in the white wine and lemon juice, keep warm.
• Grill the artichokes, basting with the butter mixture, until until golden on the surface and heated through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the Spicy Smoked Tomato Mayonnaise.
• Special equipment: smoker/dehydrator
• Chef's Note: If you do not have access to a smoker/dehydrator, you can substitute 4 sun-dried tomatoes and 2 teaspoons ancho or pasilla powder for the tomatoes and pasillas, eliminating the tomatoes and pasilla peppers from the recipe.
• Dry the tomatoes and pasilla peppers in an oak smoker/dehydrator overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill, preferably wood fired with oak wood, for indirect heat cooking.
• Wrap garlic and onions loosely in 2 separate foil packets and roast/grill over indirect heat until they are soft, being careful not to burn them. The garlic should take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours; the onions should take about 30 to 45 minutes.
• In a food processor, puree the smoked pasilla peppers and tomatoes with the garlic and onions. Add the cayenne, chili powder, paprika and salt. Mix in the mayonnaise. Leftover mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 or 4 days.

Steps:

• Pour broth and lemon juice into a saucepan, and set over high heat. Stir in mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
• In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch and water. Pour into boiling mixture, and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until sauce thickens.

Steps:

• Lay an artichoke on its side on a cutting board. Using a large, sharp knife, cut away the entire top quarter in one slice. Rub the top with the cut lemon. Cut off the stem at the bottom, so the artichoke will stand upright, and rub the bottom with lemon. Pull off the tough bottom leaves (bracts). Then, using scissors, cut away the thorny end of each remaining bract. Rub the edges with lemon.
• Bring two inches of water to a boil in a steamer or pasta pot, and place the artichokes in the steaming basket. If they are too big to fit, place them directly in the water. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes or until a leaf easily pulls away. Remove from the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature with a sauce for dipping the leaves. Use your teeth to scrape the flesh from the bottom of the leaf. Have a bowl or plate on the side for the discarded leaves. When you reach the papery leaves that cover the heart in the middle, cut them away along with the choke and discard. Divvy up the heart and enjoy.
• Whisk together the vinegar, salt, Dijon mustard and garlic. Whisk in the mayonnaise, yogurt and olive oil, and blend well. Taste, adjust salt, and add pepper. Use as a dip for artichokes or other vegetables.

Steps:

• Place artichoke hearts in a 1 quart casserole dish.
• Combine mayonnaise, garlic, sour cream, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and stir well.
• Spread mayonnaise mixture over the artichokes evenly.
• Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
• Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley.
• *Can be cooked in a microwave with only the mayonnaise mixture on the artichokes first, for 5 minutes on high. Then sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cook on high for 4-5 minutes or until heated. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles according to package directions until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer noodles to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool; drain well.
• In the same pot of boiling water, add shrimp. Poach over high until pink and just opaque throughout, 2 minutes. Drain shrimp and rinse under cold water.
• While the noodles cook, in a large bowl, combine mustard powder and 2 tablespoons very hot water; mix well. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom. Add vinegar, ginger and sugar. Whisking constantly, drizzle in oil until well combined; season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/3 cup of this dressing in a small bowl.
• Add cooled noodles to the large bowl of mustard sauce, season with salt and pepper, and toss until noodles are evenly coated. (Using clean hands works best, but otherwise use tongs.) Add shrimp, cucumbers, bell pepper and the reserved 1/3 cup dressing; season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. Season to taste.
• Divide noodle mixture among shallow bowls. Garnish with scallions and eggs, if using.

Steps:

• To steam the artichoke: wash the artichoke under cold, running water. Trim the end of the stem to 1 inch. ( the stem is an extension of the artichoke heart and is edible!). Trim the top of the artichoke by cutting off 1/4 of the top (about an inch) and discard. Then, arrange artichokes in a steamer insert or basket in a pot deep enough to keep artichokes above water. Cover and steam over rapid-boiling water (making sure to maintain the water level), until artichokes are tender. Depending on size and quantity of artichokes, steaming time can range from 30 to 50 minutes; lift out carefully and drain. Chill until ready to eat or serve warm.
• While artichokes are steaming: Place all ingredients except bell pepper and artichokes in blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Remove from blender; stir in bell pepper. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
• Remove leaved from artichokes and arrange them on serving platter. Place 1 teaspoons of sauce on each leaf, or place the bowl of dip in center of leaves. Serve.

Steps:

• Mix the mayonnaise and garlic together in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and basil; whisk until thoroughly combined. Beat the Worcestershire sauce into the mixture. Serve immediately, or chill until serving.

Steps:

• Fill 5-quart saucepan two-thirds full with water. Heat to boiling.
• Use knife to trim thick stem at bottoms of each artichoke. Using scissors, snip off tips of leaves. Cut and discard 1 1/2 inches off top of each artichoke. Rinse artichokes thoroughly with cold running water, and transfer them to pan of boiling water. Add juice of 1 lemon and salt to taste. Cover; cook over medium-low heat about 45 minutes or until bottoms of artichokes are tender.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat dipping sauce ingredients with whisk until emulsified. Pour into dipping bowl, and set aside.
• Gently remove cooked artichokes from hot water and place upside down on cooling rack to drain 5 minutes. Turn right side up, and gently pull open tops of artichokes until you see pale yellow leaves, and pull those out to reveal the hairy choke. Use a spoon to scoop out the choke. Use your hands to gently close up the artichokes.
• To eat, pull off leaves starting at base, dip in sauce and bite off soft part found at base of each leaf. Discard remaining part of leaf. Once all leaves are gone, you will find the artichoke heart. Eat that part with the help of a fork and knife, dipping it in sauce.

Steps:

• Mix together in a small bowl and serve.
