Recipe Notes
Often the flavor of the artichokes is lost in recipes that have tons of salt and fat. This version balances the cheesy, creamy flavor so the artichokes are front and center.
Most canned or bottled artichoke hearts contain a lot of salt. The average per “serving” is about 380 mg of sodium. That works out to a little over 1/8 teaspoon per a serving of about 3 artichoke hearts.
A good alternative to canned is frozen artichoke hearts, but they’re less widely available. Trader Joe’s sells them and there’s only 50 mg sodium in a 3/4 cup serving. If you find the frozen and use them in this recipe you’ll need about 2 cups. Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt and taste. Depending on how much sodium is in the artichokes you purchase, you may need 1/4 teaspoon.
