Pan Sautéed Lemon Garlic Artichoke Hearts

March 27, 2020 By Dana Vento 1 Comment

Pan Sautéed Lemon Garlic Artichoke Hearts up closeArtichokes are perhaps one of the most overlooked vegetable options out there. 

We’ve all heard those awful stories about the hairs on artichokes. 

Then of course artichokes are a bit harder to clean.

Personally, though, I’ve eaten artichokes, and artichoke hearts my whole life. 

Pan Sautéed Lemon Garlic Artichoke Hearts is just one recipe I use regularly. 

Steamed artichokes in my Instant Pot, are perfection. 

Artichoke salads, baked artichokes, artichoke dip, and so many other recipes are the kinds I cycle through monthly. 

One of my favorite finds in one of my favorite retailers is frozen artichoke hearts. 

In fact, they inspire me to cook more artichoke dishes than I ever have. 

Why not?

artichokes finishedThey are freshly frozen, with no additives and are the hearts which are the meatiest part of an artichoke. 

Basically, other than cooking these artichoke hearts there is no other hard labor required. 

No cleaning, or taking out those naughty and tricky artichoke hairs. 

Now that I have shared all that information, I am sure you want to learn how to make lemon garlic artichoke hearts right? 

Lemon Garlic Artichoke Hearts 

Artichokes in panArtichokes are high in fiber and contribute wonderful vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to a diet. 

Low fat and perfect for so many healthy-eating lifestyles. 

Artichokes are often suggested as a veggie for those that want to have a cleaner liver as they detoxify. 

Don’t believe me?  Read all about this here! 

However, along with all the good, artichokes actually have 2 glitches and both can be avoided if you understand they exist. 

Pan Sautéed Lemon Garlic Artichoke HeartsFirst, they are definitely an emission maker. 

Artichokes Cause Gas.

Plain and simple, so make sure you are either going someplace loud or you have a farty friend to eat them with! 

Artichokes come with a 2nd issue referred to as the Hairy Choke. 

These ‘hair-like’ fuzzies can absolutely create a choking situation if consumed. 

However, there are a few artichokes that can be eaten in their entirety without fear of choke hair. 

Those artichokes are baby artichokes. 

Leaves and Stem, Just No Choking Hair! 

The leaves, when cooked, or steamed or baked, are nothing short of amazing. 

Artichokes stems are also delicious and fibrous as well. 

However, the bags of frozen artichoke hearts available at Trader Joe’s are the perfect solution. 

Never worry about hairs you have the artichoke heart which is a bag filled with the ‘meat and potatoes’ of an artichoke if you will! 

artichoke hearts in bagI simply take them out of the bag and cook them in a pan, on my stovetop. 

In fact, the recipe I am sharing with you is one my Gramma Santa used to make regularly. 

Instead of having to clean them all by hand as she did, and cook them to get to the heart, I am buying them. 

There’s nothing in these frozen artichokes but great fiber! 

Garlic and Olive Oil Will Be Your Bestie When You Prepare Lemon Garlic Artichoke Hearts

Don’t skimp on freshly milled pepper, it makes the dish complete!
