ARTICHOKE FLATBREAD GRILLED

Steps:

• Lightly brush both sides of 4 whole wheat flatbreads with olive oil. Grill directly over medium heat for 2 minutes to toast. Remove from grill.

GRILLED GARLIC ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge into the water. Trim the tops from the artichokes, then cut in half lengthwise, and place halves into the bowl of lemon water to prevent them from turning brown.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Add artichokes to boiling water, and cook for about 15 minutes. Drain. Squeeze the remaining lemon wedges into a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the artichokes with a coating of the garlic dip, and place them on the preheated grill. Grill the artichokes for 5 to 10 minutes, basting with dip and turning frequently, until the tips are a little charred. Serve immediately with the remaining dip.

BACON AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS LAVASH FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until it is golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease and add the artichoke hearts. Cook over medium heat until they are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the canola oil, then the garlic and chile flakes. Saute until the garlic is fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Trim the lavash as necessary to fit on a sheet tray and spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer over the top. Top with artichokes and bacon and bake until the cheese is melted and the lavash has crisped at the edges, about 10 minutes.
• Toss the arugula with olive oil and the remaining tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the flatbread with olive oil, then top with arugula and cut into slices.

GRILLED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Break off the artichokes' small outside leaves. Cut off the top with a knife and trim the sharp points of the leaves with scissors, rubbing with cut lemon as you go to avoid discoloration. Squeeze the lemon halves into a bowl of cold water, soak the artichokes for 10 minutes, then wash with cold water to remove sand.
• Place artichokes in a large steamer insert over simmering water and steam until heart is tender, about 25 to 35 minutes depending upon size. Allow to cool. Cut in half lengthwise and remove choke with a spoon.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Stir in the white wine and lemon juice, keep warm.
• Grill the artichokes, basting with the butter mixture, until until golden on the surface and heated through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the Spicy Smoked Tomato Mayonnaise.
• Special equipment: smoker/dehydrator
• Chef's Note: If you do not have access to a smoker/dehydrator, you can substitute 4 sun-dried tomatoes and 2 teaspoons ancho or pasilla powder for the tomatoes and pasillas, eliminating the tomatoes and pasilla peppers from the recipe.
• Dry the tomatoes and pasilla peppers in an oak smoker/dehydrator overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill, preferably wood fired with oak wood, for indirect heat cooking.
• Wrap garlic and onions loosely in 2 separate foil packets and roast/grill over indirect heat until they are soft, being careful not to burn them. The garlic should take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours; the onions should take about 30 to 45 minutes.
• In a food processor, puree the smoked pasilla peppers and tomatoes with the garlic and onions. Add the cayenne, chili powder, paprika and salt. Mix in the mayonnaise. Leftover mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 or 4 days.
