I ate a ridiculously good appetizer over the weekend - which was creamy burrata cheese served with crispy artichoke hearts. Simple, but the different textures and flavors were incredible. While I don't know how to make my own burrata (one day... one day I will have cows and churn butter), I did figure out how to make crispy artichokes and it was stupid easy. Buy a can or jar of artichoke hearts, drain them, heat about 1/2 inch olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat, add artichokes and pan fry! I left them in for a couple of minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, I removed them onto a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkled them with sea salt. Eat these plain or with burrata or over a salad or... you tell me. The possibilities are endless. Hope you enjoyed your weekends, Internet friends!

It's too hot to cook and too hot to fry but these look delicious.
My friend is bringing over artichokes tomorrow from her parents' farm. I wonder if she'll leave a couple extra for me to fry... Looks amazing.
