I love artichokes and use both plain and marinated all the time.  I buy jarred and canned.  Fresh are WAY too much work...just watch Chopped!  LOL

Besides salads, I add them to beef stews, chix dishes, on top of grilled fish dishes and recently made Creamy Artichoke Spinach Soup!  It was fabulous!

I just found grilled artichokes in Weg....they were marinated.

If you would like any recipes, just let me know...I am loaded with them!  LOL

I also mix them into white sauces and other casserole dishes.

I chop into smaller peices and mix into tunafish salad.  Yum!

@Zhills I LOVE artichokes, but my  DH not so much. Even though I'm not usually a Giada fan, here is one of her recipes I really like, and it's so easy. I don't even grill the fish, I just saute it. Also, you can use cod.

Halibut in Artichoke and Tomato Broth

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons

4 (6ounce)

halibut fillets

1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning fish

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning fish

2 shallots, sliced into thin rounds

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound frozen artichokes, thawed - or fresh

1/2 cup white wine

1 1/2 cups low sodium

chicken broth

1 (14.5 ounce)

can diced tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the halibut and season with salt and

pepper. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Cook the fish on the grill pan until just

cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

In a medium saucepan, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high

heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and artichokes

and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and stir,

scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add

the chicken broth, tomatoes and juice, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt

and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Ladle the artichoke and tomato broth into shallow bowls. Top with the grilled

halibut. Serve immediately.

Do an internet search with these words and you'll find a wealth of pork  and other types of recipes using quartered  artichokes........

taste of home recipes pork artichokes

Substitute any other keywords (such as beef or chicken) and you'll surely come up with something appetizing.

I dislike marinated artichoke hearts so finding plain ones is great.  I like to make soup with leeks, chicken broth, cream and lemon. The marinated ones, even when you rinse them overpower the recipe. This is more mellow. 

[Zhills]

Thank you all.  Great ideas.  Don't know why I have never used them.  This will be a new experience for me! 

I make Artichoke Chicken but use the marinated.  It is one of my favorite meals.

Guess I'll try some new ones this week!

@Zhills.   Please share your artichoke chicken recipe

@Zhills 

You can add them to a frittada either alone or include with other items, such as asparagus pieces, mushrooms, tomatoes, basically any veggie you like...just try them to see what goes best for your liking.  Since you mentioned they are plain you may want to experiment with types of seasonings you like with them to add to your frittada.

You can also make a cold summer salad with them with some olive oil, pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder if desired, vinegar of your choice, such as red wine, balsamic, etc, include cherry or grape tomatoes, some fresh basil, even could add fresh mozzarella pieces and make it a type of caprese salad with artichoke hearts!...again just go with things you like! 😊

Artichoke Chicken

cut up chicken 3 or 4 pounds
(I use deboned thighs or breasts would work)

2  6 oz jars marinated artichokes drained

paprika

salt and pepper

fresh mushrooms 4 or 6 oz package, sliced

chicken broth about a cup

dry white wine or Vermouth to deglaze the pan about 1/3 cup (or broth)

1/4 tsp rosemary

butter and olive oil and 2 Tbsp flour

Use the paprika, salt/pepper to coat the chicken and brown in the olive oil/butter combination. (brown, don't cook completely)

After it's browned put it in a casserole, single layer, with the marinated artichokes in between.

Saute the mushrooms in the pan you used to brown the chicken

Then sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir, add the chicken broth/wine, and rosemary stirring until smooth.

Pour this over the chicken, cover and bake for 35-40 minutes @ 375 degrees.

Enjoy!  I serve with rice or cubed potatoes.
