AMUSE BOUCHE

Baked Artichokes with Onions, Lemons, Black Olives, and Mint

One of my favorite recipes from the Zuni cookbook, I’ve made this many times over the years. It’s great on its own but is also terrific over pasta!

Note: You can help Zuni fight hunger in San Francisco:  When you order Zuni’s signature classic roasted chicken for two as “Zuni Chicken for Community,” $10 will be donated to UR Blessings, a Hayes Valley-based organization fighting food insecurity.
