Artichokes and mushrooms.


I was completely clueless as to what I was going to make for dinner tonight -- when suddenly, my eye caught a bag of frozen artichokes in the freezer. I played around with it after it was full cooked and come up with this recipe! It's so simple and it honestly tasted so good.


  • 1 bag of frozen artichokes (or fresh ones if you really want to)
  • 1/2 a 'box' of mushrooms (I used cremini), each sliced in half
  • juice of half a lemon + a little squeeze for later
  • half a clove of garlic, minced
  • olive oil
  • cilantro, chopped

As the artichokes cook, mash/mince up the garlic into a small bowl, adding the lemon juice and some olive oil. Whisk until it's a solid yellow color -- that'll mean everything is definitely well incorporated. Once the artichokes are done, add the mushrooms to them. It'd be best to do this in a saute pan, for even cooking. After the mushrooms have cooked a little, add the sauce and mix the vegetables so they're well coated. Cook for a little longer and add the chopped cilantro right before serving, to keep it green and vibrant. Enjoy!
