Baby Artichoke Sauté with Basil-Asiago Breadcrumbs
Because they are small and tender, baby artichokes are great sauté candidates. A combination of butter and oil offers layered flavor with less risk of the butter burning. Panko, however, is sautéed in butter alone because the breadcrumbs immediately soak up the fat, which makes burning less likely. If you don't have panko, use fresh breadcrumbs made from leftover bread, and sauté an additional minute or two.
