Ingredients
  

  • 4 artichokes stems removed
  • 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic sliced (slivered)
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs oregano
  • Sea salt & fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato concasse or 1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes
  • Extra rosemary and sliced lemon for garnish
  • Your favorite dipping sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Trim the stems from the bottoms of the artichokes so that they can sit upright in the crock pot. Using a serrated knife, trim the tops of the artichokes down about 1/4-1/3.
  • Spread open the leaves of the artichokes with your fingers. Insert pieces of the herbs and slivered garlic in between the leaves of the artichokes, evenly distributed.
  • Place the 4 artichokes into the bottom of a crock pot.
  • Drizzle Balsamic vinegar and olive oil over the artichokes, and then spoon the tomatoes, along with the juices over the artichokes and around the sides of the artichokes, covering the bottom of the crock pot with tomatoes and juice.
  • Generously sprinkle the tops of the artichokes with the salt and pepper.Cover and set the crock pot on high for 3 hours.
  • After 3 hours, check for tenderness. The leaves should pull off the artichokes fairly easily. Keep the artichokes warm until ready to serve, or refrigerate and enjoy as a cold dish later. The artichokes shown here are served with homemade garlic aioli.
