Artichoke Heart Canoe Hors d’oeuvres Recipe Created by Ruth Paget

Castroville, California in Monterey County California is one of the world’s artichoke capitals.  Marilyn Monroe was even the queen of the annual artichoke festival here.

The artichokes like the ocean fog that comes in over the Monterey Bay in this part of the County.  Frozen artichoke hearts work best in this recipe.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

-2 tablespoons olive oil
-1 large, peeled, and chopped onion
-1 teaspoon dry garlic
-2 cups frozen artichoke hearts
-1 cup sour cream
-8 stalks washed celery

Steps:

1-Sauté onions and garlic in olive for 5 minutes.

2-Steam the frozen artichoke hearts for 30 minutes.  Let them cool and chop them into small pieces.

3-Place onion mixture with chopped artichokes.  Add in sour cream.

4-Place the artichoke-sour cream mixture in the cavities of the celery.  Cut celery stalks into 2-inch segments.

5-Place celery segments on a tray and serve.
