I used a can of it to make a hot crab and artichoke dip. It was
yummy. (Chopped up some canned artichoke hearts pretty finely. Added
a can of crab, a cup each of sour cream and parmesan cheese, and a
half cup of mayo. Baked at 400F until the whole thing looked all
brown and bubbly. Served with crackers.)
But for the artichoke hearts that sounds great. What would be a good
subtitute for those of use who are unenlightened about artichoke hearts? 🙂
Siobhan, I am not an artichoke fan, but I *love* my artichoke and crab
spread. Try it - you really don't notice the artichoke except as a
nicely sharp veggie.
