How to Make Artichoke Hearts La Grcque

1. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon tomato purée, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. **Blanch the Onions:** Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
3. **Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms:** Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the blanched onions and 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
4. Add 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (or your favorite variety) to the skillet. Sauté over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, until they begin to brown and release their moisture.
5. **Combine:** Add the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture to the dressing. Gently stir in 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained.
6. **Chill and Serve:** Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
