I can hear you already going what on earth is that?????




Well.....If words like “artichoke” make you think, “Ew, weird, clicking away now,” don’t–click away give this one a chance first.



Avoiding things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things that taste amazing.






So onto the recipe.....
