This basic artichoke recipe is the perfect side dish as it complements almost any main course. It's flagrant and delicious. I used to shy away from artichokes because I did not know how to prepare them. Once I learned, I realized it was not so difficult and had missed out on such a great veggie! Hope you enjoy the recipe.
