My favorite low carb recipe

howietam · 01-26-2007, 03:44 PM

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to share my favorite low carb recipe. It is from Atkins onlinel
It's a lot of chopping, but worth the effort. It keeps 3 days and can be served hot or cold. I like it spicier, so I add extra red pepper flakes and use pepper jack cheese.

Artichoke/parsley cheese squares

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 green onions, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 package (9 ounces) frozen artichokes, thawed, drained and chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 large eggs, beaten
8 ounces Monterey jack cheese or pepper jack cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons Atkins Quick CuisineTM Bake Mix
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 325F. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and saut green onion until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saut until aroma is released, about 30 seconds. Add artichokes, oregano and pepper flakes and cook until artichokes are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, gently whisk eggs, cheese, bake mix, parsley, salt and pepper until well-combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in artichoke mixture.
Pour artichoke batter into an 8 square baking dish and bake 30 minutes, until set and slightly golden on top. Cool slightly before cutting into squares.

I have to admit, howie, I have never had artichokes before, but it was the cheese that got me. I LOVE IT! I am going to give it whirl this weekend. I have to go shopping anyway. LOL Thanks for posting it.

Mike,
I added roasted red peppers from a jar, as well. When you cut up the artichokes (I used canned artichokes), remove some of the tougher outer layers, they can get very chewey! Enjoy!
