Roasted artichoke and marinated white bean salad

Delight in the harmonious blend of roasted artichokes and marinated white beans. This culinary masterpiece offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans artichoke hearts, rinsed and patted dry
• 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1.5 teaspoons salt, divided
• 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
• 1 cup chopped herbs (I used a mix of parsley, rosemary, thyme and mint)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together shallots, garlic, and sherry vinegar. Set it aside as you prepare the artichokes.
3. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the artichokes and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to coat the artichokes and then spread them out on a large baking sheet.
4. Bake the artichokes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they reduce in size slightly and begin to turn golden brown.
5. While the artichokes are baking, add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the shallot mixture and whisk until well combined.
6. Combine beans, herbs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (if desired) into the mixture. Stir everything together and let it sit and absorb the flavors while the artichokes are cooking.
7. Once the artichokes are ready, mix them with the marinated bean mixture. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
8. Serve the dish either warm or at room temperature.
