How to Make Amazing Artichoke Toasts

  1. Marinate Artichokes: In a large bowl, combine 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts (drained), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce. Mix well and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Prepare Garlic Aioli: In a blender, combine 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced). Pulse until combined. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil while blending until thick and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
  3. Toast Bread: Preheat your oven's broiler. Place 8 slices of your favorite bread on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown and toasted, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  4. Assemble Toasts: Spread each toasted bread slice generously with garlic aioli. Top with 2 marinated artichoke hearts per slice, a thin strip of red bell pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh basil.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy these delicious artichoke toasts while they're warm and crispy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
