Every now and then I buy some ingredient that I have no idea what to do with.

So I have this jar of marinated artichoke hearts. I've made hot dip before and used them in salads but do any of you have a favorite use for them beyond those two obvious recipes?

Just curious. Yummly has some interesting uses but just thought I'd try the source of all knowledge for cooking & baking.

1. Love them!

I have made the dip and stuffed mushroom caps with it. Also used them as a quick sauce for pasta (the kind I buy are already in olive oil). Just gently warm and toss with your favorite cooked pasta. Also a great addition to puttanesca sauce. Enjoy

3. Puttanesca is wife's favorite. I'll have to try that!nt

2. I've had vegetarian pizzas that have used them.

Other than adding to the overall moisture content (which for me, results in soggy pizza the next day) they're delicious

Plus, you can add them to pasta salads or pasta dishes, like tossed with other veggies, spices, oil and your favorite pasta.

4. they're great as a pizza topping too

one idea would be a pesto sauced pizza with sun dried tomatoes, olives, and artichoke hearts add peppers and onions too if you wish with feta cheese and or provolone yum

5. That's two for pizza. I almost never make pizza but perhaps I'll have to try again soon. nt

6. Three for pizza

They're really lovely that way. I can warm them and eat them right out of the jar, frankly, but I'm weird.

7. I'm with you...

Pizza with artichoke hearts & other goodies this weekend!

13. Another one voting for a pizza topping.

Or in a pasta dish.

8. Everything that's been said

and also in a sandwich with a soft cheese like brie or if you're feeling antisocial, limburger on dark rye.

9. Try them in Alfredo sauce

with penne or other shaped pasta. Just drain them well first. They work well in pasta salad too.

10. Marinated artichokes rarely make it into recipes in my house.

I buy them for salads, but most of them get eaten straight out of the jar before they make it onto the salad. Marinated artichokes are one of my most favorite things ever.

11. in quiche (drained)

...with some kalamata olives, chopped fresh spinach, minced red onion, and provolone and parmesan cheese.

Delicious.

[Snarkoleptic]

12. They're really tasty on a pannini as well.

14. I'm in with the pizza crowd

but I'd like to seem them drained so they don't impart so much liquid to the pizza.

Also, just grilled, maybe mixed with some red pepper, onion, whatever you're in the mood for.

Or grilled and served as a side with a roasted chicken (or duck).

You may notice that I'm a little heavy on the grilling/draining. That's because I find them strong in flavor otherwise.

The obvious exception is chopped and in a greek antipasto, if that's what you mean by salads.

Oh, and to a limited degree, maybe on bruschetta or a flatbread? (now we're back to pizza, though)

15. I've used them every way you described

I love them grilled with other grilled veggies. From there you can do so much with them, salads, sandwiches, a side dish, wraps, in a quesadilla...mmmm, making myself hungry.

16. They make a great sauce.

Strain them out of the jar and let them dry for about an hour on paper towels.

Roast them in the oven with a couple cloves of garlic. Let them caramelize.

Toss in a blender with a splash of EV olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

Slice your favorite bread, spread it on, and make a sandwich. My favorite is leftover roast beef, with roasted red peppers.
