before you dismiss this recipe because of your new years diet, hear me out...
the "creamy" in this dish is nonfat greek yogurt.
now can we talk?
because i loved this! it was tangy and yummy and satisfying in every way. i could eat this as a main dish. and the other great thing - this is so, so simple. complicated side dishes stress me out and i always wonder who in the world has time for them. you too? here's a solution...
creamy baked artichokes
serves 2 as a side dish - easily doubled, tripled, whatever you need!
you'll need:
1 can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 cup nonfat greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, plus extra for sprinkling
juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon chopped italian parsley, for garnish (optional)
preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
in a bowl, mix together artichoke hearts, greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. divide into 2 ramekins (or into a baking dish if multiplying recipe). sprinkle 1 tablespoon of parmesan and panko over each serving.
bake for 15-20 minutes, or until top starts to slightly brown. garnish with freshly ground pepper and chopped parsley.
hope y'all enjoy this! this will be my new go-to side dish. done. and now gone are the days of panic when someone asks, "can you bring a side dish?" hooray!
I have been using Greek yogurt for creamy recipes for a while now - it's so much better for you than the "other stuff". These look delicious - artichokes are the one green food I can handle. :)
ReplyDeletethanks, ashley! so glad you like artichokes... i love them too! :)
DeleteDon't you just LOVE Greek yoghurt? (That's how we spell it in my country.) It has saved many a recipe of mine from being too rich and too calorific (not to mention saving my waistline)! I adore artichokes, so nutty and rich in their own way. I'm pretty sure I could just eat this as the main course... with lots of crusty bread, OF course.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes I do love it! I also think it TASTES better than a lot of other creamy options... I love that tang!
DeleteI actually did eat these for lunch a few days ago... with buttery ciabatta alongside. :) Great minds...
