Lovely and delicious, these artichoke appetizers are easy to assemble the day before you need them. Let them marinate overnight and then just drain and serve at your party.

recipe tips
Dry off the artichoke hearts before wrapping them to prevent the prosciutto from slipping off.
Try brushing the prosciutto with a thin layer of Dijon mustard before wrapping the artichoke hearts for a zestier flavor.
Try different herbs and spices in the marinade, such as rosemary, garlic, or crushed red pepper flakes.
To make these roll-ups a bit fancier, you can sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Make sure to use the water-packed artichoke hearts, not the marinated kind because you are basically making your own marinade with the remaining ingredients. These really were awesome. The paper-thin proscuitto is kinda hard to work with (it tears easily) so purchase extra if you are looking for perfect results.
