Artichoke Heart topping

[Jon in Albany]

Anyone have an artichoke heart topping/prep method they like?

I like artichoke hearts and have been purchasing a variety of different prepared artichoke hearts. And while I like them, I think they would be better on a salad and not a pizza. Last week I tried a can of artichoke hearts. Drained the can, put the artichoke hearts in a salad spinner and a lot more liquid came off them. Cut one in half and it was still soaked. Maybe cut in half and then in the salad spinner would be a better way to go.

A search showed that artichokes do come up once in a while, but usually just a quick mention that they were included as a topping, typically marinated. There was also a similar post to this one back in 2014 with no responses.

Anyhow, anyone got a go to artichoke heart pizza topping prep or artichoke heart topping combination you like? Brand recommendations for either plain or marinated?

Thanks.

Roland artichoke hearts, don't recall anything special in preparation.

Craig once talked of roasted artichoke hearts.
I've tried unroasted versions from grocery store olive bar,  found them a little too oily, but still tasty.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for them. Pretty sure an Italian marker near me has a lot of Roland products.

That was my general feeling about the ones I have had. Trader Joe's had a package of tapas style grilled artichoke. I thought they were OK but didn't think they would work well on a pizza.

I like frozen much better than jarred or canned.  I don't do any special prep other than thaw and put them on.

I use marinated ones. Always drain them, then they go on in a shallow bowl lined with a double layer of paper towels.

Same here but I put the spinach on pre-bake.

When I've done this in the past, I've generally started with fresh chokes and grilled them myself. I love them as a topping, but a lot of work.

This is something I have tried and it was a hit. It's a modified dip for veggies.

Artichoke hearts probably 2 - 6 oz jars
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup parm
1 cup Mozz
1 clove garlic, optional
1/2 cup chopped onion

Was great on pizza. Adjust for your taste.

Trader Joe's has both an artichoke pasta sauce that is chunky with artichokes and a tapas style grilled heart. Both are great on pizza.
