Artichoke Hearts

Best EVER Artichoke Hearts Technique!

This is super easy and totally worth the extra effort

Ingredients:

Artichokes

Olive Oil

Salt

(Lemon Juice)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Trim extra leaves off the bottom and trim the stem flush with the blossom so they sit nice and pretty

Next cut the tops off about an inch or two from the top like this :

I stuffed mine with garlic cloves (which I would HIGHLY recommend!)

Drizzle with olive oil and a little bit of lemon juice and top with a sprinkle of salt

Wrap tightly in a piece or 2 of foil

Bake for 40 minutes

YUM.

Beetroot Pizza

Beetroot Pizza!

Yields 4 individual sized pizzas

Ingredients:

1 Beet cleaned

3-4 cups of flour (I used Gluten Free mix)

2 packets yeast

 1 tbsp olive oil

Boil (or bake covered in foil) the beet cut in quarters for about half an hour or until tender

Blend until very smooth

Proof yeast

Punch a hole in the middle of flour and add yeast and oil

Mix gently

Add beet root folding over adding small amounts of water until mixture is smooth and elastic. should not be sticking to your hands or bowl.

Beautiful!

Let dough rise for 2 hours. It won't rise much but the longer you wait the deeper the color

Divide in four sections

Roll out pizza and add toppings

Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes

viola!

Dough does not keep well even overnight cooked or uncooked. Still tastes alright the next day but they coloring isn't as wonderful.

Enjoy!
