Stuffed Artichoke Hearts with Gingerbread & Pine Nuts |
|||||
|
Mix the butter, sugars, molasses, fresh ginger, eggs and vanilla until creamy. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and ground ginger. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Next add the sour cream and milk. Mix very well. Pour into a 10 inch cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, OR if using a shallower baking pan 15-25 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan when cool and crumble into small pieces. Mix in the parsley, pine nuts, thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Stuff this mixture into the artichoke hearts, and, if using fresh artichokes, you can also stuff the gingerbread in between the outer leaves. Place the artichokes on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Drizzle Lemon Garlic Aioli over and under the artichoke and serve.
In a blender or food processor, add the garlic, lemon juice
and egg yolks. Process to a
paste, then slowly drizzle the olive oil in while blending, until the
texture resembles a thin mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the core and peel the layers of radicchio. Blanch 12 good size leaves of the radicchio in boiling water for about 5 seconds, and set each leaf out on a work surface. Place a cube of cheese in the center of each leaf.
Place a spoonful of the olive paste on top of each piece of cheese,
then wrap the leaf around the cheese and use the rosemary sprig to skewer
it closed. Set aside.
Puree the onion in a blender with the red wine vinegar.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.
Pour into a jar and cover. Refrigerate the unused portion. Will
keep for several weeks. On a grill, toast the radicchio wraps, while brushing with olive oil. Grill the French bread slices until browned. Place each wrap on top of a French bread slice and drizzle
with the vinaigrette and diced peppers (optional) to garnish.
