These artichoke hearts can be made up to two weeks in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature for the best flavor.
You can use either jarred, frozen, or canned artichokes as long as they are packed in water and not already marinated. Drain and rinse the artichokes for the best flavor.
If fresh mint or oregano isn't available, you can substitute 2 tsps of dried mint or oregano; however, you can also substitute fresh dill, basil, or use only parsley in this recipe.
