Like other reviewers, I felt that this was missing something. I began with fresh peas, which I blanched, then followed the directions as written; with the exception of adding more lemon, dill and sugar along with some butter to the pan before serving. The artichokes were great, but the peas were just okay. Thanks for giving me something new to try!

We agree with the others that this is definitely missing something. We added butter and some cooked rice. This made it much tastier. Overall, we liked this recipe once tweeked. Thanks for posting.
