...This time with a quick, cheap, yummy snack.
A very, very SOUR snack. Be aware of that; this is for those who like sour foods.
Right. You will need:
1 small saucepan
3-4 tablespoons of lard
1 of those little plastic lemon juice things that looks like a lemon
1 can of artichoke hearts (NOT PICKLED.)
some minced garlic and onion
First, put the lard, onion, garlic, and lemon juice in the saucepan, and melt them together on high heat.�
Drain the artichoke hearts.
Once the lard is melted - this will happen VERY quickly - put the artichoke hearts in the pan, trying to get them mostly covered by the mixture. flip them over every 2 minutes or so; you'll want this to cook for maybe 6 minutes to really get the flavors into the artichoke.
Spoon the artichoke hearts out onto a plate with a couple of paper towels to drain off the excess fat.
Enjoy! This is a very SOUR treat, but if you like strong lemony flavor, there you go. You can mitigate the sourness a bit if you really want by adding some grated orange peel to the lard mixture, but I don't reccomend it.
