Be careful with the oregano.
If you use dried oregano, use at most 1 teaspoon.

You're welcome.
I just gave the warning since I seldom see oregano used in the recipes
given here.
Fresh oregano is heavenly.
When it is dried, it becomes more "concentrated" and develops a hint
of bitter taste.
If not used sparingly, it can overpower the dish.
If you plan to use fresh oregano for this dish, use just the leaves.

Michael,
Happy 4th of July!
Except,
I don't know squat about Dubliner or Vintage Irish cheddar cheese.
Next, I'd rather use artichoke bottoms.
And shouldn't the mayo be a measure of gloppiness or a WHOLE cup?
We're BBQ (grilling) chicken, burgers and dogs again today (leftover BBQ'd
chicken breakfast). Got a ton o' Samoan kids kickin' me when I'm up/when
I'm down (I haven't struck back, yet!!!), they don't give a shit about our
national holiday. It's just another day of summer to them.
I tried to teach a class about birds. Failed miserably! KIDS!!! Attention
span: -1 seconds. Then we wind up sleeping head to head in a circle?!?
I do have a favorite student and wife who, nevermind. It's still nice to
hear them all talking Samoan language. Makes me feel like I'm in their
country, West Samoa NOT American Samoa. American Samoa sucks, they insist!
And they don't fall like dominoes, so I just nod in agreement.
Can't/don't wanna shake 'em out of their culture. I've seen that happen in
Australia with the aborigines.
Wouldn't mind a taste of your recipe, just don't think I'd make it myslef.
Best,
"Uncle" (torture HIM!!!) Andy
Been purposely stepped on three times and strangled once during this post.
This treatment, for being a thin and tall giant?!?
Short and stout punks!!!
CAN I GET A CAN O' WHIPASS (KID-SAFE)???

You don't shop at Trader Joe's?

In what way are they different than artichoke hearts?
I am curious about recipes like this -- do you want to use
canned, jarred, or frozen hearts, in oil or in water? Or
does it make a difference?
I like the idea of including a full 2 T of oregano.

Steve,
I was raised with artichoke hearts ("bottoms" in our house) being the
remaining "heart" after all the leaves were gone and the choke scraped
away. WAR at our kitchen table.
The artichoke hearts you hear most about are some outer leaves plus the
"bottom." I preferred what were the real hearts only. You have to carefully
shop for artichoke "bottoms" (in a can) or do them yourself. "The heart is
the best part," from how I was raised.
Folks got funny tendencies, in places, imho.

Thanks, that makes sense....

Steve,
Welcome!
Now put a little garlic'd sautéd spinach and then a "real" heart "bottoms-
up" on an English muffin, place a poached egg inside it and drown it in
Hollandaise sauce and you'll have the best "Eggs Sardou" of your life. Do
it twice and double your pleasure!

Kinda/sorta. When the family comes over, they tend to stay over. It's a
tight fit in such a small house. Most of us sleep on the living room floor.
I tend to be an anchor. The kids stay up WAY TO LATE!!! Wears me out.
Adults drink until dawn, yelling and screaming amongst themselves. Brothers
and sisters 'n' stuff like that!!!

I snore. Payback!
