Sou um cozinheiro novato, mas fiquei intrigado com o simples-suficiente-para-mim de Megan McArdle para corações de alcachofra congelados :
I'm also an enormous fan of frozen artichoke hearts, which when roasted at 500 degrees with a little spritz of olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt, make a delicious, inexpensive, low calorie and high fiber dinner or side dish. We always have them in our freezer, and after eating same at our house, some friends have started stocking up as well. Are they quite as good as fresh grown, local artichokes would be? No. But local artichokes aren't available for very long in Washington, DC, and I tend to get discouraged by the task of cutting down twelve artichokes to extract the heart.
OK, eu tenho todos os ingredientes, mas uma pergunta permanece: quanto tempo devo assar os corações a 500 °?
Depende do tamanho da alcachofra. A marca Birds Eye comum nos Estados Unidos levará cerca de meia hora a 475 ° F (eu nunca os sincronizei, então é um palpite). Eu apenas os assisto até eles começarem a ficar com manchas marrons. Se eles são grandes, abaixe a temperatura.
