Artichoke Hearts Sautéed with Baby Peas…

We love artichokes and baby peas! And this was one of our mom’s common side dish when she made her parmesan-crusted chicken cutlets, or her crusted turkey cutlets. Plus, it’s an easy recipe combining these two “frozen” vegetables, and as a side dish, it will complement any entrée!

For this recipe, we prefer to use frozen artichokes. It helps speed up the cooking time. Best of all, it’s low-carb, low-fat, and keto-friendly.

This happens to be our mom’s recipe, and it is our favorite. She never measures anything, yet she amazes us with how relaxed she is when cooking and tells us – it comes with experience.

Notes and Helpful Tips…

• This delicious side dish is easily made on the stovetop. 
• Plus, you can make it ahead, and reheat it before serving.
• Nowadays, we don’t have the time, or the patience to clean “fresh” artichokes. So we prefer frozen hearts, because they’re very convenient.
