When I was in Napa a few years ago we ate at Chef Michael Chiarello’s Bottega Ristorante. They served an appetizer that I loved, so per usual I came home and made my own version (you know how I roll). This Parmesan Artichoke Heart Dipping oil is superb!
(This post contains affiliate links. I may make a commission off sales but your price remains the same.)
My version has freshly grated Parmesan, artichoke hearts packed in water, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, garlic and sea salt…
…all drizzled in a beautiful, heart healthy extra virgin olive oil, then spooned onto soft, warm artisan Ciabatta bread. Hungry yet?
THE RECIPE: Dipping Oil with Parmesan and Artichoke Hearts
You will need: a good knife (I love this one) a fabulous sea salt (seriously I buy the tub, it lasts a year!), and a microplane for shredding Parmesan. (affiliate links)

- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 1 small clove garlic finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes or more if you like to bring the heat
- 1 tsp flat Italian parsley chopped
- 2 artichoke hearts packed in water chopped
- 1/2 extra virgin olive oil approx
- pinch sea salt
- 1 loaf freshly baked Ciabatta bread
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-
Wrap artisan bread in foil and place in oven to warm
-
Place artichoke hearts between paper towels and press out extra water, chop.
-
Prepare remaining ingredients.
-
Place cheese in a small bowl, add artichoke hearts, garlic, parsley, salt and red pepper flakes. Toss. Right before serving, drizzle olive oil over cheese mixture till oil covers all ingredients. Stir.
-
Drizzle a tad more oil so there is a layer of oil on top of cheese mixture.
-
Spoon onto warm Ciabatta bread and bliss out...

Ok I love that it is ok to use the artichoke hearts from the can! Ha! I have been wanting to try making a dip with them and just seems like it would be easier with canned!
