Recipe: Marinated Artichokes and Hearts of Palm
Stores sell marinated artichokes, so why not marinated artichokes and hearts of palm? They’re both mild vegetables that contribute more texture than taste, and they absorb the flavor of a marinade beautifully. You do need firm hearts of palm which … Continue reading
