The bacon wrapped artichoke hearts were an inspiration from my favorite Basque Pinxote. They make a wonderful finger food and would be great to take to a party. Better yet, take a combination of bacon wrapped artichoke hearts and bacon wrapped asparagus, yummy!!!!
Serves about 6 - makes about 18
Ingredients:
1 12-14 ounce jar of marinated artichoke hearts quartered and drained--keep the liquid for later
9 pieces of bacon cut in half
Directions:
Pre-heat to oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wrap 1 bacon half around 1 artichoke heart, continue until you used either all the bacon or all the artichoke hearts. Many sites suggested securing bacon with a toothpick. I decided against this since the bacon wrapped easily around the hearts and stayed in place without the toothpick. line a backing sheet with tin foil place the wrapped hearts evenly on the sheet drizzle with the artichoke liquid you kept. Depending on your oven, bake for ~15 minutes or until the bacon is browned--it took my oven ~30 minutes. Let cool a bit, but serve hot.
These were delicious!!! Next time I make them I might try sauteing up some scallops to add to the top, sounds yummy.
