a delicous recipe using two of my favorites...broccoli and artichokes. I used a 14 oz can of non-marinated artichoke hearts, squeezed and cut in half. the ingredient list said juice of one lime and the instructions said add lemon juice. I used juice of 1 lemon. was a perfect side dish to my grilled swordfish.

This was quick and easy, adding nice flavor to the broccoli from the artichoke hearts, garlic and pepper flakes. I cooked the broccoli in the microwave.

As far as veggie recipes go...this is easily 5 stars! I followed this and used lemon. I also rinsed the artichoke hearts to get rid of some of the oil. Wonderful! Steamed the broccoli in the same pan I cooked in and just drained and set aside. Yummy! Paired it with grilled wasabi tuna and garlic penne pasta. YUM!
