Patatine E Carciofi Arrosto Roasted Potatoes And Artichokes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, place the potatoes, carrots, garlic, rosemary, and sage. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat.
• Roast for 50 to 60 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and serve.
• IMPORTANTE! To parboil and pan-roast these potatoes: In a pot, combine the whole potatoes with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the pot and set them aside to cool. Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch chunks and add to a large nonstick skillet with the carrots, garlic, rosemary, and sage. Dress with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and heat on high until the potatoes are crisp and golden, occasionally moving the potatoes by shaking the pan handle. Avoid stirring with a spoon or spatula, so that you don't break the skin, and the potatoes can achieve a nice sear.

Steps:

• Make gremolata:
• In a bowl stir together gremolata ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large shallow baking pan rub potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and season with pepper and salt. Add garlic, rosemary, and thyme and roast potatoes in middle of oven, shaking pan occasionally, until they are tender but still retain their shape, about 30 minutes (depending on size of potatoes).
• Reduce temperature to 350°F.
• Peel roasted garlic. Drain trimmed artichokes and pat dry. Quarter artichoke halves lengthwise. In a large deep non-stick skillet warm remaining 4 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat and cook artichokes with garlic, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Add pepper and salt to taste and 1 cup broth or water and cook, stirring occasionally, until artichokes are tender and most of liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. (If artichokes are not yet tender, add additional water or broth and continue cooking in same manner.)
• Add artichokes and garlic to potatoes and halve any larger potatoes. Heat vegetables in middle of oven until just heated through, about 10 minutes. While vegetables are heating, chop remaining herbs. Add chopped herbs, three fourths gremolata, and pepper and salt to taste and toss to combine well.
• Serve vegetables sprinkled with remaining gremolata.

Steps:

• Trim the artichokes, slice very thinly, and soak the slices in acidulated water.(water with lemon juice and then place lemon in water).
• Pour the olive oil into the skillet, and set it over medium heat.
• Scatter the garlic and onion in the pan.
• Cook for 4 minutes or so, stirring and tossing occasionally; season with the salt and peperoncino.
• When the vegetables are sizzling and wilting, lift the artichoke slices from the acidulated water, drain briefly, and drop them into the skillet.
• Stir well, cover the pan tightly, and let everything cook slowly, giving the pan a shake now and then.
• After 10 minutes, the artichoke slices should be softening - if they're hard and the pan is dry, add a couple spoonfuls of acidulated water and continue cooking covered.
• Braise for 15 or 20 minutes total, until the artichokes are tender and lightly colored.
• Cook uncovered for more caramelization if you like.
• Turn off the heat, and spread the artichokes out in the skillet bottom.
• Scatter the shredded cheese evenly on top, and cover the pan.
• Let it melt into the vegetables for several minutes before serving.
