Thanks to both of you for the great suggestions! Barrett, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned the pizza idea, but the hearts of palm are a bit like marinated artichokes in flavour and texture. Jen, you are right - I shouldn't just save them for the one dish that includes them. I'll have to try them on their own in a salad too!
Hearts of palm are great in salads or sliced on top of a pizza with artichoke hearts and spinach.
They go pretty well in Chinese food as a semi-substitute for bamboo.

I love hearts of palm, and usually slice them with a bit of lemon, a bit of olive oil, and cracked pepper. Important to rinse them out of the can.
GORGEOUS picture. I love it!

Hi Meg, Very nice picture. I love the squares on the chicken. It's not so easy to get them. Have a good week-end.
