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 serve it as a side dish. They will complement any entrée!

For this recipe, we prefer to use frozen artichokes. But, you can use the canned ones too. It will help 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 AMAZING! And, we can’t wait for you to try it.
