Steps:
- Thinly slice 1 garlic clove, and set aside. Gently crush remaining clove, and rub over one side of each of the bread slices. Brush both sides of bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toast slices on a grill or in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden and crisp on both sides. Transfer to a serving platter, and set aside.
- Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved garlic and artichoke hearts. Saute until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
- Season ricotta cheese with salt and pepper; spread about 2 tablespoons of mixture on each slice of bread. Top with sauteed garlic and artichokes. Season again with salt and pepper. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with olive oil.
Tips:
- Choose the right artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves. Avoid artichokes with brown spots or blemishes.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: Trim the artichoke stems and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center.
- Marinate the artichokes: Marinating the artichokes in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to tenderize them and add flavor.
- Cook the artichokes thoroughly: Artichokes can be cooked in a variety of ways, but they should always be cooked until they are tender. You can boil them, steam them, or roast them.
- Serve the artichokes with a dipping sauce: Artichokes are often served with a dipping sauce, such as mayonnaise, melted butter, or hollandaise sauce.
