Tinned Artichoke Hearts

[chizzy22]

Does anyone please have a recipe for cheese and potato pie or gratin or something that I could use the artichoke hearts up in? Thanks

At this time of year there are lots of fresh vegetables around which you can mix in a dish with your artichoke hearts.
Try a mixture of green beans, caulifllower florets, small courgettes.
While the veggies are lightly cooking, make a white sauce by melting 1 oz butter in a saucepan, then gradually stirring in 1 oz flour. When it goes stiff, gradually stir in about a third of a pint of milk and let it simmer for a few minutes to cook the flour and thicken. Then put in about 4 oz of strong grated cheddar.
Drain the cooked vegs into a dish, add the artichoke hearts, pour over the sauce mixture and brown in the oven.
Alternatively, put the artichoke hearts into the veg water for 3 minutes to heat through while the other veggies are cooking, then strain, serve direct onto plates and pour the sauce over.
