The Artishroom Bowl

Artichokes are horrendously expensive, but when cooked right, they can be absolutely delicious.

Matt and I came up with this delicacy sometime last year. We started with artichoke leaves boiled in water with garlic, lemon juice, butter, and a touch of white wine. After arranging them in a bowl shape, we roasted portabello caps, sliced them pizza-wise, and put those on top. Finally, we added sauteed peppers, some almonds, cranberries, and finely grated mozzarella cheese. Because the mushrooms were cut pizza-wise you could eat it... well, like a pizza. Just pick up an artichoke leaf, scrape off all the good stuff with your teeth, and... delicious.
