Roasted Frozen Artichokes ****

 I made a recipe that called for 1 bag of frozen artichokes, and baking at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.  I tasted a couple and liked the ones that were more crunchy better than the ones that were soft.  I cooked them for another 10 minutes, followed by another 8 minutes.  Results were inconsistent, due to varying sizes of artichokes.  I'm going to try cooking them following this recipe next time.  They almost taste like cooked potatoes or fries, except that the softer ones had a weird artichokey after taste.  







  • 2 12-ounce bags frozen artichoke hearts
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp sea salt 


  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then top with a wire rack.
  2. In a medium bowl, add frozen artichoke hearts. Drizzle on olive oil and toss to coat.  
  3. Arrange frozen artichoke hearts in an even layer on the wire rack. Season with salt.
  4. Roast for 40-50 minutes (if thawed) or 60-65 minutes (if frozen) until crispy and golden brown. No need to turn the artichokes while roasting.

How to Cook Quail Eggs *****

 Took a long time to come to a boil.  These were good but were definitely hard-boiled.  I would have preferred the yolks a little less done.




Ingredients
  

  • 30 quail eggs
  • 1 tsp white vinegar


Instructions
 

  • Place the quail eggs in a small saucepan.
  • Cover them with cold water and add the vinegar and stir.
  • Bring the water to a boil over low heat.
  • When the water begins boiling, set a timer for 4 minutes.
  • After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water another 2 minutes. (Set a timer!)
  • In the meantime, add about 10 ice cubes to a bowl and cover them with cool water to prepare the ice water bath. Set it aside.
  • After 2 minutes, remove the eggs from the hot water and shock them the ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Once cooled, peel gently.


    Notes

    How to peel: Roll the eggs on the countertop to crack the skin. Pinch the bottom of the cracked shell (there will be an air pocket here) under cold running water and gently remove the membrane and shell together.
    How to store: Keep hard boiled quail eggs in the refrigerator for up to a week.
