Artichokes - Roxanne 21 - 01-06-2009
What would you sub?
I have seen a couple of chicken and artichoke recipes recently...the canned ones are YUCK!!!!
I was thinking maybe baby marrows (round zucchini-little) or cabbage??
Opinions?

Can you get the frozen ones?? They are far superior to the canned. How about the little marrows and mushrooms??
Re: Artichokes - Calliope - 01-06-2009
Would hearts of palm work in that recipe. I don't mind the canned hearts of palm. I use it for some artichoke dips on occasion.

Ditto to Calliope's suggestion.
Re: Artichokes - cjs - 01-07-2009
me too, hearts of palm or maybe even brussels sprouts. hmmmmm

HEARTS OF PALM????? Uhhh...don't think I have ever seen them here but I will take a closer look next time I shop. Would that be in the canned veggie section?
Love brussel sprouts/marrows and mushrooms soooo....
Re: Artichokes - HomeCulinarian - 01-07-2009
I buy canned in the canned veggie aisle- don't think I've ever seen fresh here.

Marrow? Ok so I googled it. Is that all it is.... an old zuke?? Tell me more

Actually, canned artichoke bottoms aren't half bad in a casserole.
Happy New Year, everybody, I'm back from various travels and a few minor health issues.

Hope your minor issues are resolved
and WELCOME back. lxxf!!! 
Cis, here marrows are just baby zucchinis...there are no biggies on the shelves. Nice and sweet and tender but they do have a tendency to go soft, mushy and moldy fairly quickly. They are also called patty pans...shapes are similar to a really tiny flying saucer and they come in green and yellow. No summer squash here but the yellow marrows are quite close in taste and texture. Great size for kebabs!
