Baked Stuffed Artichoke Hearts
Chef David Ritzo
Tomato Confit:
1 small container fresh grape or cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons plus 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons white wine
2 ounces pancetta -- diced
2 - 14 ounce cans artichoke bottoms
kosher or sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
For the Tomato Confit: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put the tomatoes in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, fresh thyme and white wine. Spread the contents of the bowl on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool. Reduce the oven to 350 degree.
While the tomatoes roast saute the pancetta until crisp and drain on a paper towel.
Drain the artichoke bottoms from the liquid in the cans and rinse. Pat dry and place artichokes on a sheet pan. Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the artichokes. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, minced garlic and fresh basil over the artichoke hearts. Put a small amount of the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each heart.
To complete the assembly add tomato confit and pancetta to each artichoke heart. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Yield: "10 artichoke hearts"

Serving Ideas : The tomato confit can be also be used on top of toasted bread
NOTES : Canned artichoke hearts can be found in your gourmet
supermarkets in the Italian section or in the aisle with
your jarred artichokes. Trader Joe's has a 2 ounce
package of diced pancetta in their refrigerated counter.
For easy clean-up: Line your baking sheets with parchment
paper or use a silpat.
The confit and pancetta can be done a day ahead to make
assembly quick and easy
