    Hi,
    my tesco (clearwater) used to sell artichoke hearts in a tin, was a spanish brand.. Don Carlos, like the olive oil and other stuff..
    They recently made a re-arrangement of the store and I cant find them anywhere anymore.. I asked everyday i go.. coz i notice i can't find tinned asparagus either.. but they said they might have discontinued those products ??? :(
    So question is..
    Does anybody knows where can i buy artichoke hearts?? And i mean in brine.. found some as antipasti.. but they come swimming in olive oil and i just want them bit more healthy..
    Pls.. i'm desperate.. need my artichokes.. i just love them!!!
    Thanks

    why not just buy whole artichokes? great fun to eat and delicious with a mustard vinaigrette

    we usually buy them in Roy Fox in Donnybrook. they might also have tinned ones (not sure but wouldn't be surprised).

    personnally i eat mine raw, but if you want to cook it, steam it for about 45 minutes, or until the outer leaves come off easily.

    great.. i'll defo give them a try if i find them somewhere closer (northside) or if i pass by donnybrook one of these days..

    but if you see them tinned.. will you let me know?? i just love them grilled out of the tin.. with mushrooms, a splash of lemon and a few herbs.. yummy!!

    They often have raw in the Italian shop on Dunville avenue and I assume they have tinned in brine as well as they are a great source of lots of things like that. I think they also have a shop at Smithfield (Nortons)

    I think I know the one you are on about - they come in a green tin. They aren't Don Carlos but some brand beginning with e I think.
    I got them recently in Supervalu in Churchtown. Also I saw them in the Dunnes in Stephens Green.
