If using canned artichokes or canned artichoke hearts: remove from the can, drain and chop.

- Line the pie dish with the pastry sheet, making sure that the pastry sheet reaches up the sides of the pie dish and a little above the edge of the dish; if necessary, trim the pastry sheet.
- Cover the pastry with baking paper, fill it with rice and blind-bake the pastry case for 15 minutes; as soon as you remove the pie dish from the oven, remove the rice and baking paper and allow the pastry case to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the shallots, garlic, thyme leaves and parmesan.
- Place the prosciutto in the bottom of the pie dish and top them with the well-drained, chopped artichoke pieces or artichoke hearts; sprinkle the shallots, garlic, thyme and parmesan mixture over the artichokes.
- Pour the broth or stock over the vegetables and scatter the chopped butter pieces over the top of the tart.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
