What type of Artichokes do I buy for this recipe?
Look for canned artichoke hearts (quartered, halved, whole all fine) in water. Marinated artichokes are great for serving on an antipasto tray or charcuterie board, but since they are soaked in oil and spices they aren't the right type for this recipe.

This was delicious and so easy to make! It was perfect for the weeknight as I was able to whip it up and still feel like I was having a fancy meal. A healthy alternative to ordering take out.

I have noticed there are two kinds of artichokes on my grocers shelf, Marinated & plain. Which do I use in this recipe??
Allyson
I suggest using plain canned artichokes in water. The marinated kind is soaked in oil and herbs, which we don't need for this recipe. The marinated type is great for an antipasto tray or to add to a charcuterie board!

I just made this for the first time. You're not kidding when you said it was fast and easy. I prepped everything, cooked it, and cleaned up the (small) mess in about 35 minutes. Tastes delicious, and there are so many variations to try. Thank you for such a healthy, amazing meal. One of these days when we can entertain again, I will keep this in my back pocket for an easy, elegant dinner party.

You are so. right, Cindy! Thanks for the great review!
