So kitchen was closed longer than I had anticipated.. work has once again taken over and dinners have been sandwiches and rotisserie chicken from Albertson's.. I actually found this recipe last week in an old Self Dishes mag and am so glad I made it!! It is DELISH!! Enjoy!!
**I tossed in some avocado too!!
1 jar (6 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and blotted
3 tbsp white vine vinegar
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 large basil leaves
1/4 tsp dired oregano
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lb orzo
1/4 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved 10 oil-packed sun-dried & sliced into thin strips
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Coarsely chop all but 4 artichoke hearts; set aside chopped hearts. Place whole hearts in a blender. Add vinegar, shallot, garlic, mustard, basil & oregano; season with salt & pepper. Turn on blender & slowly add oil until dressing emulsifies; set aside. Boil orzo until al dente (about 8 min.) Drain and transfer to a bowl. add crabmeat, cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, chives, parsley, reserved chopped artichokes & dressing; toss. Eat up!!
