Ingredients

• 14 ounces canned or jarred artichoke hearts
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned or jarred artichoke hearts under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and cut larger pieces in half if desired.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Gently fold the artichoke hearts into the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 4-6 hours or overnight.

Step 5

Before serving, give the artichoke hearts a quick stir and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 6

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, part of a mezze platter, or over salads and pasta.
