A delightful and easy-to-make spread featuring artichokes, fresh herbs, and a tangy twist.
Place the marinated artichoke hearts, fresh parsley, grated parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, brined capers, and fresh garlic into a food processor.
Ensure the artichoke hearts are well-drained to avoid excess liquid in the spread.
Squeeze the juice of half a fresh lemon into the food processor.
Roll the lemon on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Pulse the food processor until the mixture is finely chopped but not completely smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as needed to ensure even chopping.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, as the capers and parmesan already add saltiness.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and serve with your choice of accompaniments.
Garnish with a sprig of parsley or a drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
