This inflammation can be caused by an infection or happen after heart attack or heart surgery. Pain from myocarditis or pericarditis is usually is sharp and in the center of the chest. It tends to get worse when you breathe, lie down, cough or swallow. Sitting or leaning forward sometimes reduces the pain.
This idea that it's not a good idea to cook over high heat with olive oil is fairly common. For a lot of people, the concern is one of health, specifically that olive oil, with its relatively low smoke point of 325 to 375Â°F (165 to 190Â°C), degrades more than other oils when exposed to high heat.
Here, I used baby artichokes, and fried them in both canola oil and extra-virgin olive oil. The frying in this recipe is a two-step process, first at a lower temperature, around 300Â°F or so, until the hearts are tender, and then at 350Â°F, right up in olive-oil smoke-point territory, to crisp and brown them.
