Artichoke Hearts In Mustard Sauce Food

ARTICHOKE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Trim the sharp tips of the outside artichoke leaves with a sharp knife. Cut off the top of the artichoke about 1-inch and remove the stem so that the bottom is flat. Wash the artichoke in cold water and rub all cut surfaces with some of the fresh lemon juice and pulp.
• (A round slice of lemon may be tied to the bottom of the artichoke to prevent oxidation of the base.)
• Bring water to a boil, add the salt and the remaining pieces of the lemon, rind and all, and place the artichokes base down. Cover the pot and bring the water to the boil again before lowering the heat to a simmer. Cook the artichoke at a steady simmer for 35 to 45 minutes or until a leaf pulls easily free from the center. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the water, remove cool to room temperature. When cool some of the cooking juices may be drizzled over the top of the artichokes.
• In a stainless steel bowl combine the vinegar, mustard, herbs, salt and pepper and whisk to emulsify. Add the oil in a small steady stream until all the oil has been incorporated and the dressing has achieved a silky, smooth texture. The dressing may be stored, covered, for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, but should be brought to room temperature before using.
• Serve the artichoke with some vinaigrette on the side as a dip for each leaf or drizzled over the heart.

SPINACH-ARTICHOKE CANNELLONI CREPES WITH MUSTARDY CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°, with rack in upper-middle position. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shallots, artichokes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add spinach, a handful at a time, until all spinach is wilted and tender and any excess moisture has evaporated; season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl to cool.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high. Whisk in flour and simmer until mixture darkens slightly and smells nutty, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and bring to a vigorous simmer. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture is just thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon with a thin film, 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in cheese and mustard until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
• Fold 3/4 cup cheese sauce into spinach mixture. Working one at a time, spoon 1/3 cup spinach-cheese mixture into the center of a crepe. Lift edge nearest you up and over filling, then fold in sides and roll up like a burrito to make a 2-by-4-inch rectangular package. Transfer to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and repeat with remaining crepe and spinach-cheese mixture. Pour remaining cheese sauce evenly over filled crepes in baking dish. Cover dish tightly with parchment-lined foil.
• Bake on center rack 15 minutes. Remove parchment-lined foil and switch oven to broil. Continue cooking until cheese sauce bubbles and browns in places and crepes are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH MAYONNAISE-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Place one to two inches of water into a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and whole peppercorns to the water.
• Insert the steaming basket and place artichokes and trimmed stems inside the basket. If you don't have a steamer, it also works to place the artichokes directly into the water, bottoms down.
• With lid off, heat until water boils, then put lid on and turn heat down to low to maintain a simmer.
• Steam or simmer for 25-30 minutes or until a sharp knife can easily pierce bottoms of the artichokes near the stems. To be sure, test them all. Larger artichokes will take longer to cook. Remove hot artichokes from the pot with tongs.
• To make the sauce: Mix about one part of yellow mustard into six parts of good mayonnaise. The sauce should be light yellow and not taste like either mayonnaise or mustard, but like a new sauce all its own. Add more of either ingredient as needed to get the "new" sauce.

CHICKEN FRANCAISE WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS

• 5.Turn heat down to medium and add 1 tbsp of olive oil to pan. Sautee shallots until translucent, being careful not to burn. Add artichokes and turn the heat up to medium high so that artichokes will get a little crisp to them.
• 6.Return heat to medium. Push the artichokes and shallots to one side of the pan, leaving an area for you to melt a tbsp of butter and a tbsp of flour together. Whisk together to create a roux which will thicken the sauce.
• 7.Mix together roux, shallots, and artichokes in pan. Add chicken stock, white wine, lemon juice, ½ tsp of salt, and ½ tsp pepper, and parsley. Stir to make sure the roux dissolves evenly in the liquid to prevent clumping. Let sauce reduce and flavors connect for about 10 minutes.
• 8.Return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over so that it is completely immersed in the sauce. Cook the chicken thoroughly, about 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken.
• 9.Remove chicken and put on serving platter or plate and pour sauce over top.

ARTICHOKE HEARTS IN LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE
