Recipe 2

This was just fabulous! I could eat this spread all day, with bread and crackers, on chicken or beef, or just as it is. 


Artichoke Spread:


2 large fresh artichoke hearts
1 spanish onion
8 cloves fresh garlic
1/2 cup aged whole asiago cheese
1 cup fire roasted peppers (jared)
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
white pepper
black pepper
sea salt

Heat olive oil in medium sized sautee pan on medium heat for about 2 minutes or until oil is hot. Slice onion on mandolin on second level. Throw in onions and whole cloves of garlic with spices. Cook on medium high heat for 15 minutes and check on it every few minutes. When crisp and soft turn off heat. Slice hearts in 4 big pieces and add peppers without jar's liquid and cheese which should be cut into cubes. Let garlic/onion mixture cool for 10 minutes before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth and serve.
