How to prepare artichoke cream with garlic
- Crush the garlic in a mortar together with a little coarse sea salt. Slowly add oil, as you would for mayonnaise, constantly grinding the garlic with the pestle. You will see that a mayonnaise forms. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of oil this way.
* you can use the oil in which the artichoke was preserved - Put the artichoke hearts in a small food processor, add the garlic mayonnaise and the rest of the oil and a little more salt. Blend well for 1 minute until it becomes a smooth paste. If you see that it's not blending properly, stop the processor, add a little more oil and continue blending.
- Serve on slices of bread (crostini) or as a sauce for short pasta.
