- * Note: Spanish pimenton comes in three flavors-dulce (sweet), agridulce (bittersweet) and picante (spicy warm). Each is made from a different subspecies of pepper. Sweet pimenton, smoked or possibly unsmoked, is the most versatile, while the bittersweet adds an interesting complexity to a dish. The spicy-warm is packed with flavor and really not at all fiery to most palates. Substitute Spanish pimenton in any recipe calling for paprika.
- Blanch the celery in boiling salted water 6 min. Drain and refresh it under cool water. Set it aside.
- Combine the sweet and warm pimenton in a small bowl and mix it with 1/4 c. water till it is smooth.
- Toast the almonds in 2 tsp. of the oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat till they are golden brown, 3 to 4 min. Remove from the heat.
- Chop the parsley in a food processor, then add in the garlic and process till it is finely minced. Add in the toasted almonds and process till they are finely grnd. Add in 1/2 tsp. of salt, the vinegar and 1/2 c. of water and continue to process till the mix is quite smooth. Add in the pimenton paste and the remaining oil. This makes 1 c. of dressing. (The dressing can be served with other vegetables and salads.)
- Place the artichoke hearts and celery in a bowl and top with the dressing. Marinate 1 hour at room temperature.
- Prepare a bed of lettuce or possibly escarole on a large platter. Arrange the artichokes and celery on top. Garnish with the egg, mint and onion.
- This recipe yields 6 appetizer servings.
