I don't do low carb and wouldn't know a low carb recipe unless it
walked up to me and introduced itself by name. However, I have a few
artichoke recipes in the wings to try because I have a package of
frozen artichoke hearts in the freezer waiting for me to do something
with it. So here are some recipes I've collected. I'd just
substitute your frozen (prepared) artichoke quarters or my frozen
hearts for the artichokes specified.

Recipe #1
Favas and Artichoke Hearts
"Mark P. Nelson" 6-09 rec.food.cooking

Sauté shelled beans (peeled or not) for 3 minutes in olive oil with
some smashed garlic cloves, salt & pepper.

Add sliced fresh artichoke hearts and saute a few minutes more,
turning often.

Add a little white wine, a bay leaf, and some fresh sage, savory, or
thyme, then cover and simmer until the artichoke hearts are tender,
about 20 minutes.


Recipe #2
Sautéed Artichoke
http://www.cdkitchen.com

Ingredients:
8 cooked artichoke slices
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, cut into two wedges
Salt
Water

Directions:

In a small sauté pan (6 inches), add the butter and one teaspoon of
the oil. Place on high heat and add the garlic. As soon as the
garlic begins to sizzle and become fragrant, add one wedge of lemon,
the artichokes and a healthy pinch of salt. Toss to mix and sauté for
2 minutes to warm through. If the pan seems dry add 1 or 2
tablespoons of water.

Serve hot with the remaining olive oil drizzled on top and the extra
slice of lemon on the side.

Optional: Add one - only one! - herb for additional flavor. Chopped
fresh flat-leaf parsley is the best choice. Fresh basil or fresh or
dried thyme leaves, mint or oregano are also good.

Recipe #4
Sauteed Baby Artichokes Recipe
http://elise.com/recipes/archives/00...artichokes.php

Ingredients

2 pounds baby artichokes
Bowl of water with 3 cups of water and juice from 2 fresh lemons
(about 3 Tbsp) or equivalent amount of vinegar

1 cup of water
1/2 cup olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 green onions (scallions), chopped, including the green ends
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
1 pinch of Herbes de Provence
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1/4 to 1/2 cup to taste)
Method

1 Rinse the baby artichokes. Set out a bowl with 3 cups of ice-cold
water; add the fresh squeezed juice from 2 lemons (about 3 Tbsp of
lemon juice) or vinegar. Working on the artichokes one by one, cut off
the stem to 1/4-inch from the base; peel back and remove the petals
until only the top third of the cone tip is pale green. Cut off the
pale green tips. Trim off any remaining green from base of artichoke.
Halve or quarter the artichokes, depending on their size and drop in
the bowl of acidified water (to prevent discoloration).

2 Drain artichokes. In a large skillet, heat the artichokes and 1 cup
of water to boiling. Cover and simmer 3-5 minutes, depending on the
size of the artichokes. Drain well.

3 Using the same skillet, heat to medium high and add the olive oil.
Add the artichokes, onions, garlic, and herbes de Provence. Cook for
five minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle on 1 Tbsp lemon juice or
vinegar, salt and pepper. Put in serving bowl, sprinkle freshly grated
Parmesan cheese on top.

Serves 4.
