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.

Very good. I substituted onions for garlic and pan roasted the broccoli instead of steaming it. DH gobbled it up. I found the amount of lemon (Iused a mix of lemon and lime) to be just right.

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.
