A note from the chef:
Artichokes!! You either love-em or you just haven’t had a great one yet. Let me help you get the most out of your chokes. Artichokes are an opportunity to be creative, and I have come up with literally hundreds of dishes utilizing this edible thistle. Drop me a line and we’ll share stories.

Happy Cooking,
Chef Tony B.

Ask the Chef

We at Ocean Mist Farms are proud of our Artichokes. When prepared correctly, they are without a doubt a delicious treat to share with family and friends. To state the obvious, Artichokes are not potatoes, and we get a lot of questions on the best way to prepare them. For that reason, we are dedicating this section of our Web site so you can “Ask the Chef!”

Ocean Mist Farms has partnered up with Montrio Bistro’s Executive Chef Tony Baker to answer your Artichoke questions. Chef Baker has been working professionally with Artichokes for almost 20 years and has developed hundreds of dishes – perfecting many different preparations and cooking techniques.

Featured Question
Q: The recipe ingredients for Ocean Mist Farms Artichoke Dip Appetizers list "1 can plain Artichoke Hearts-drained or Fresh Artichokes." What is the can size, or how many fresh artichokes are required? In other words, how many ounces of hearts are needed to yield 6 to 8 servings of dip? Thank you.
A: 

Ray.

Many thanks for your question. I'll do my best to help. I looked up the recipe and I agree it is very vague.

In fact I try not to use canned artichokes at all. I would suggest 4 cooked large artichokes or 1 14oz can if you need to use them. Now I haven't tested this personally so good, luck, let me know how it turns out!

One of the Ocean Mist Farms chefs Adrienne Meier wrote this recipe and it's delicious! It's on the same lines but also uses bell peppers, give it a go.

Many thanks for stopping by our site and dropping me a line,

Happy Cooking,

Chef Tony Baker
