Sauteed Artichoke Bottoms
Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee

Ingredients
2 (14.5-ounce) cans water-packed artichoke bottoms,
drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, shredded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a bowl, combine and toss drained and rinsed
artichoke bottoms with lemon juice. Set aside.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, sweat onions in oil until translucent. Add
tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in Italian seasoning
and shredded basil leaves. Add in artichoke bottoms with lemon juice and sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Cover pan and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes.

To serve, remove artichoke bottoms and place on serving plate so the hollow side
is up. Fill with tomato-onion mixture.
