Lucio Galletto & David Dale, “Coastline: The Food of Mediterranean Italy, France & Spain“, 2017 was the topic of an earlier blog post. “Artichauts aux petits pois” (Artichokes with Peas) is a recipe on page 108 of the Lucio Galletto & David Dale, “Coastline”, 2017 cookbook.
“Artichauts aux petits pois” (Artichokes with Peas) is a recipe that I show in several different photographs in this blog post. Pairing of “English Green Peas” with either “Hearts” or “Palms” of Artichoke is greater than the sum of the parts. The contrast of artichoke and peas “plates” well in serving dish for the eater.
Shannon Smith, “The Classic Artichoke Cookbook”, 2021 has on page 80 a “Artichokes & Green Beans” recipe. Shannon Smith, on page 18 has a “Asparagus & Artichoke Pasta Salad” recipe. Green beans are an “everyday” vegetable: but, artichoke or asparagus is used as a “holiday” vegetable. “Surf & turf”, is filet mignon beef & lobster with asparagus. “Surf & turf” dinner replacing the asparagus with artichoke is equally as “elegant” meal.
