Artichokes With Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees. Arrange the artichokes standing up in a shallow baking dish.
• Mix the goat cheese with the garlic, chives, parsley and with salt and pepper to taste. Then spoon the goat cheese-garlic-herb mixture into the center of each artichoke. Afterward, sprinkle the filling with the bread crumbs.
• Mix the lemon juice with the olive oil and brush over and inside the artichokes. Put in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or just until the artichokes and the filling have been heated through. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To prepare the artichokes, place them in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Squeeze the lemons and add the juice and the lemon to the pot and bring to a boil over a high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until they are tender, about 25 minutes. Use the tines of a fork to check for tenderness. Transfer the artichokes to the ice water. When they are cool enough to handle, remove the leaves and the choke (the fine fibrous clump on top of the bottom, in the middle). Trim the edges of the bottoms. Place the artichoke bottoms, eggs and water in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until creamy. Pour into a mixing bowl and add salt, pepper and flour and combine until pasty. Whip the egg whites in a dry copper or stainless steel bowl until they are creamy and hold stiff peaks. Gently stir into the artichoke mixture. Place a cast iron skillet over a medium high flame and when it is hot, add the oil. Drop dollops (about the size of 2 tablespoons) of batter, a few at a time. When the edges begin to stiffen, turn the pancakes over. Combine the goat cheese and sour cream in a small mixing bowl. Place the pancakes on an oven proof plate and top each one with a large dollop of the goat cheese mixture and place in the oven until the cheese just begins to melt, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring large pot of water to boil. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice to water. Add artichokes and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Cool completely. Using small spoon and keeping artichokes intact, carefully remove tiny center leaves and chokes.
• Mix goat cheese, cream, 2 teaspoons thyme and garlic in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into center of artichokes, dividing equally. Place each artichoke in center of square piece of foil large enough to cover artichoke completely. Gather foil up around artichoke, twisting top of foil to secure. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place artichokes on baking sheet and bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Melt butter in heavy small skillet. Add olive oil and remaining 6 tablespoons lemon juice and bring to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Unwrap artichokes. Place each in center of plate. Drizzle butter mixture around each and serve.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken breast halves until browned on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Pour in chicken stock, artichoke hearts, pearl onions, thyme, salt, and black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until stock is reduced and onions and artichokes are tender, about 45 minutes; turn chicken breasts over in the skillet after 20 minutes.
• Place a goat cheese slice on each chicken breast; cover skillet and let goat cheese melt. Place chicken breasts onto a serving platter. Spoon about 3 tablespoons liquid from skillet into a small bowl and whisk in cornstarch until smooth; stir cornstarch mixture into skillet and cook until sauce has thickened, about 1 minute. Serve pan sauce with chicken breasts.

Steps:

• Squeeze the lemons into a bowl and add 2 cups of water.
• Trim the artichokes down to the fleshy bottoms by slicing off the stem, pulling off all the leaves and cutting away the fuzzy choke. Trim the artichoke bottom. Dice the bottoms as they are trimmed and place in the bowl of lemon-water.
• Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion, saute until it begins to color and stir in the garlic. Drain the artichokes and add them. Stir in the wine. Cover the saucepan and cook until the artichokes are nearly tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the rice, then add 1/2 cup of the stock. Stir. Continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time as each portion is absorbed. Adjust heat so the mixture simmers gently. Stir from time to time as the stock is added. After about 20 minutes all or nearly all the stock should have been added and the rice should be firm but tender, without a hard white center in the grain.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, fold in the cheese and parsley and serve.

Steps:

• In food processor(I use my blender)combine hearts, onions, garlic, mayo, cream cheese, parm cheese and goat cheese.
• Blend, leaving some texture.
• Spoon into a 7 or 8 inch casserole dish.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Bake dip uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Serve hot w/Crackers,bruschetta,tortilla chips or veggies(I love raw carrots).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli according to package directions until 3 minutes shy of al dente. Reserve 3 cups pasta water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large oven-proof skillet, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook scallion whites until softened, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook another 1 minute. Stir in red-pepper flakes, and cook another 30 seconds.
• Whisk in 1 1/2 cups pasta water, cream cheese and goat cheese, and simmer, whisking, until smooth. Stir in artichokes, 1 cup fried onions, the mozzarella, the parsley, the dill and the reserved scallion greens, then stir in cooked pasta and black pepper. Add more pasta water if it seems too dry; you want this to be fairly liquid, because the pasta will soak up the sauce as it bakes. Taste and add some salt if needed.
• Top pasta with remaining cup of fried onions and the Parmesan. Bake until filling is bubbly and onions are browned, about 10 to 20 minutes. Serve drizzled with olive oil, and with more red-pepper flakes on the side if you like.
