These were really nice, and quite easy. Although I usually really like sour, this was a tad too sour for me. Otherwise I would give this 5 stars. I did use canned (not marinated) artichoke hearts to save on the oil and used olive oil spray. BF did not think this was too sour, surprisingly because I usually like stuff more sour than he does. I would not mind at all trying these again, thanks! Made for RSC#11.
