I'm in love with baby artichokes. This quick braise (it didn't even take the full 20 minutes specified in the recipe) is another fine preparation-- a great break from our winter standard vegetables (mostly brassicas). The lemon juice made them nicely tangy (maybe I added too much), so they were a perfect accompaniment to the rich spaghetti with creamy braised garlic. Never having had baby artichokes before, I am now a fan and all three baby artichoke recipes in this issue were great-- but the frittata is the winner by a mile.
