Artichoke Dip (Caponata)
"I was very pleased to adopt this recipe as a homeless Recipezaar orphan; as it is something I have been making for a few years now. I first encountered it in a gift basket from our local Italian gourmet shop. With only four ingredients, it was easily reconstructed. Proportions of all the ingredients can be varied according to your taste; but be sure to use genuine Parmigiano-Reggiano only. "

Boy oh Boy.....I give this all 5 stars because it's all the things that us "lookin' online chefs" are looking for. It's easy, tastes great hot & cold, takes only 4 ingredients and from start to finish it's about 10 minutes flat....if served cold. Even if this only has 4 ingredients, it's sooooooooo tasty! The only thing I changed is I added both cans of hearts instead of the 1 1/2 it called for (out of convenience) but I JUST LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing!

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
