  1. I liked this alright - but the tarragon was REALLY strong. I think I would have preferred to have only added 1/2 - 1 tablespoon instead of the full 2 tablespoons. Also, as I am not an artichoke fan, I used green beans instead, and they worked fine. If there had been less tarragon, I think I would have really liked it. I will probably try it again with those modifications.
     
  2. Made this for PAC Spring 2007. The only change I made was to use a jar of marinated artichokes and the oil from that in place of the olive oil. What a great, rich flavour! Thanks for a simple and delicious recipe!
