Instructions for
Baby Artichokes with Dill Blossoms and Garlicky Almond Breadcrumbs
Prepare Artichokes
In a large pot over medium-high heat, add artichokes, chicken stock, wine, capers, garlic, salt, and dill. Bring to a boil, then cover and lower heat. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until artichoke hearts are tender (they should pierce easily with a knife and a leaf should be easy to remove).
Prepare Topping
In a medium pan set over medium-high heat, add olive oil and then anchovy fillets. Stir to breakdown the fillets and then add almond flour and garlic powder. Stir to combine, adding more olive oil if needed. Stir over heat until mixture turns golden-brown, about 5 minutes.
Bring it all Together
Transfer artichokes to a platter and spoon some of the remaining cooking liquid over top. Sprinkle with almond breadcrumbs and top with dill blossoms.
