How to Make Artichoke Guacamole

  1. Place 14 oz can of artichoke bottoms in a small saucepan, cover with 1 cup of water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the artichokes are very soft, about 20 minutes. Mash a few with a fork to check for doneness.
  3. Drain the artichokes well, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, finely chop the artichokes.
  5. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichokes, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup diced tomato, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Gently mash the mixture with a fork to your desired consistency, adding a tablespoon or two of the reserved artichoke cooking liquid if needed to reach desired texture.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
