Yesterday’s Lunch – Salmon Artichoke Pasta Salad – FBC style

I haven't had lunch yet and now my stomach is growling…

Where did you find dehydrated artichoke hearts. I can think of lots of uses for these.
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry, I should have mentioned that! I dried them myself at home…

The pasta is also cooked and dried (makes it "instant")

Mike… sometimes they come packed in oil. Those ones should be rinsed and drained. Usually I can find the water packed ones and they don't need to be rinsed.

We use them on the trail in a crab and artichoke dip…

I know the pot I used isn't exactly UL but it sure was worth it (plus there are 3 of us sharing).

Trader Joe's carries water packed hearts in cans, near the olives. Quite cheap as well.

Laurie,
Thanks for the tip.
Dicentra's website was also helpfull

Sarah,
Alas, Trader Joe's is 3.5 hours away.
Thansk!
Mike

Michael,

Next time you're in the area, stock up! I cannot rave enough about TJ's for hiker food… And things to dehydrate.

The artichoke hearts are $1.99/can and come packed in water. I also buy jars of roasted red/yellow bell peppers $1.99 and dry them.

Lots of ready-to-eat, trail friendly foods too. I love the beluga lentils and various rices.

Trader Joe's is definitely a gold mine for outdoor's cooking.

I've just finished 3 weeks of dehydrating for a canoe trip to northern Manitoba. My latest T.J.'s find is frozen roasted onions, red, gold, & green peppers. Dehydrated they are great on pizza, w/ packets of Chinese sauce, & with fresh fish.

I leave tomorrow early.. :-)
