They know us so well.<\/p>\n<p>At first I wasn\u2019t sure why a Jamie Oliver cookbook was the one my brother chose. But, of course, he is the type to read through a cookbook like a book, and therefore, understand cooking better. And this book is perfect for that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the British chef\u2019s \u201c5 Ingredients,\u201d and as its name implies is cooking with just 5 ingredients (and OK, also 5 pantry items that you likely have lying around if you have this book, and full disclosure, we do). And because of that, it\u2019s perfect for both its simplicity but also understanding how flavors interact and how to build from just 5 ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>So far, we have only made a handful of things out of it, but every single one of them has been my new favorite dish.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s recipe here is no exception.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s got 5 ingredients, plus two I added (one that\u2019s optional and one that amends a hard-to-find item), and one pantry item (pepper, which I hope most people have in their pantry), and a bit of water. It took time only because it roasted potatoes, fennel and artichokes for a long time, and then had a cheesy cream sauce.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78\" style=\"width: 285px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-78 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/potato-fennel-artichoke-285x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/potato-fennel-artichoke-285x300.jpg 285w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/potato-fennel-artichoke-768x808.jpg 768w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/potato-fennel-artichoke-973x1024.jpg 973w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/potato-fennel-artichoke.jpg 1836w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetables covered in cream and oil, so you know it&#8217;s delicious<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty healthy, though I did add more of the unhealthy bits than Oliver\u2019s original calls for. And other than the time, it takes just cutting potatoes and fennel for prep.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, this is a good one. Here\u2019s what I did to amend the original:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 lbs. yellow potatoes, quartered or eighthed depending on size (His recipe was in grams)<\/li>\n<li>2 bulbs fennel, sliced thinly, and including the clean stalks<\/li>\n<li>1 jar (14 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, quartered (including the oil!)<\/li>\n<li>1 sprig rosemary (optional)<\/li>\n<li>1 c. heavy cream (the recipe called for double cream, which I think is thicker so I mixed in sour cream too)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd c. sour cream<\/li>\n<li>\u2154 c. grated Parmesan, divided<\/li>\n<li>Pepper<\/li>\n<li>1 c. water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the potatoes and fennel on a large, sided sheet pan (about 15 \u00bd x 12 inches). Add the quartered artichoke hearts and their oil. Season with rosemary and pepper. Pour over the water.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the vegetable mix with olive oil and bake for 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the heavy cream, sour cream and \u00bd the Parmesan cheese. When the vegetables have baked for an hour, remove the foil and dot the vegetables with the cream mixture, and sprinkle on the remaining Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Bake uncovered for another 20 minutes until the cheese has browned. Let cool slightly and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year for Christmas we got a cooking utensil and a cookbook from my brother and his wife. They know us so well.
