BEER PAIRING
Pair with a Bohemian Pilsner, like Pilsner Urquell®
The hop aromas in Pilsner Urquell® are elevated by the lemon and garlic in our creamy dipping sauce.
This dish's preparation and charm is all about high-quality ingredients, simply and honestly put together.
This Bohemian Pilsner’s firm bitterness helps to both cut and contrast the rich, salty and smoky flavors of bacon, while its bready, sweet malt character mirrors the browned exterior of this shareable appetizer.
INGREDIENTS
Artichoke Hearts
10 slices bacon
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
20 (2 cans) artichoke hearts
Lemon-Garlic Sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
STEP 2
Slice bacon in half and season with pepper. Strain water from artichokes and gently squeeze each artichoke to remove any excess liquid. Wrap each artichoke heart with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
STEP 3
Bake for 25 minutes until bacon begins to render then broil for 5 to 8 minutes until bacon is deeply golden and slightly crisp.
STEP 4
Place ingredients for the lemon-garlic sauce in a blender and puree until combined.
STEP 5
Serve bacon-wrapped artichokes promptly with lemon-garlic sauce.
Note: Bacon-wrapped artichoke hearts can be prepared but not cooked in advance. Cook right before serving.
