Here’s a remake of an amazing restaurant find. A friend of mine repeatedly told me I had to go to a restaurant in the Silverlake area in LA called Forage. Finally we went. And it was amazing.
It has a vast array of beautiful serving bowls and platters filled with sides, veggies, and grains that you can pick and choose from (and of course some less vegan-friendly things too). I had a nice little selection of a few sides, stole bites of other choices from my friends, and loved everything I tried.
But then came my sudden uprooting, and now I can’t get back there until I visit! That’s okay. I’ll just remake everything I ate there. Everything. Happily.
One of my favorite things was this mustard-y potato and artichoke salad. I’ve altered mine to be a little lighter, a little fresher, and with nice crispy potato edges, the way I like them!
serves 2
1 C potatoes
1 6 oz jar marinated artichoke hearts*
1 T spicy brown mustard**
1/2 t vegan mayonnaise
2 T chopped dill
1/8 t salt
1/8-1/4 t black pepper, to taste
*you can use thawed from frozen or canned in water instead
** I looove the one from Trader Joe’s
Cut potatoes into whatever size you like – I want mine about the same size as my artichoke hearts – and steam them. Time will vary depending on how large you cut your potato pieces. My pretty small pieces took about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, you can mix up the sauce for it. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, dill, salt & pepper.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drain your artichokes pretty well, but add a little of the oil and marinade in the jar to use for your sauteing oil. It looked like I used a little over 1/2 t of the marinade, but use as much or little as you like. Dump artichokes and potatoes in and cook until edges are crisp, just about 4-6 minutes, stirring often.
Add potato and artichoke mixture to sauce and toss to coat. It’s easiest to coat with the sauce when the potato mixture is hot, but this is delicious eaten at any temperature.
