Prosciutto Wrapped Artichoke Hearts Recipe 45

Steps:

• Defrost artichoke hearts and pat dry. Combine hearts, olive oil, fresh herbs, salt and pepper in a bowl and marinate for 30-60 minutes. Pre-heat oven to broil. Wrap each heart with prosciutto and place on a cookie sheet. ( I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy clean up.) Cook until prosciutto starts to crisp and turn brown - about 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with balsamic vinegar/syrup and serve.

Steps:

• Pat quartered artichoke hearts dry with paper towels. Cut each prosciutto slice crosswise in half. Wrap each artichoke heart quarter in halved prosciutto slice. Place wrapped artichoke hearts in single layer in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour cream over. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola, pine nuts, Parmesan, and sage. Bake until gratin is bubbling and sauce thickens, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For Prosciutto Chips: Place onion in a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow onions to caramelize for about 10 to 18 minutes, stirring often.
• Place a 10-inch saute pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, drizzle in the vegetable oil. Cut your prosciutto slices into pieces, the size of a troika chip. Fry until crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
• For Fried Artichoke Hearts: Place oil in a deep saucepan. Heat to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the artichoke hearts into quarters. Dust artichoke hearts in your all-purpose flour. Place artichoke heart into your preheated oil and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
• To assemble, place a artichoke heart on top of a piece of prosciutto, garnish with a couple pieces of caramelized onion, and serve. See Cook's Note.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except for the cream and cheese in the crockpot (making sure that the chops are lying flat in the pot).
• Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
• Remove the porkchops from the crockpot; mix the cream and cheese with the juices and vegetables remaining in the pot.
• Return the chops to the pot and coat with sauce.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except prosciutto, in a bowl. Toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven broiler. Tear prosciutto into pieces big enough to wrap around artichokes. Place wrapped artichokes on foil lined baking sheet. Broil for 3 - 5 minutes or until warmed through and prosciutto is slightly crispy. Serve.
