Whole Artichokes with Lemon Butter Sauce
My own home-grown and organically grown, artichoke drenched in Lemon Butter Sauce, with side dishes containing extra lemon butter for dipping the petals in, and a finger bowl with lemon juice and water to rinse buttery fingers.

This dish is very quick to make, fairly simple to construct, and has nice textures with the soft asparagus topped with crunchy […]
