have been made to reduce the carb count.
List of Ingredients
2 (6-ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
4 eggs
1/4 cup finely ground crumbs from pork rinds
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco
1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
(approximately 2 cups)
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
Recipe
Drain juice from artichoke hearts and reserve the juice
from one jar. Use the reserved artichoke juice to saute
the onions and garlic. Saute the onions and garlic until
limp. Chop drained artichoke hearts into small pieces and
set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs. Add pork-rind
crumbs and seasonings and mix. Stir in cheese, parsley,
sauteed onions, artichoke hearts and garlic. Put into a 7
x 11 pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, uncovered.
Let cool and cut into squares.
Variation: For hot and spicy artichoke squares, add 1 (4-
ounce) can green chiles, drained and chopped, and 1 (4-
ounce) can jalapeno peppers, drained and chopped. Follow
the same directions as written for artichoke squares.
