Spinach & Artichoke Anything

Spinach & Artichoke Anything!

1/2 Can quartered artichoke hearts

Handful of fresh spinach

Few Spring fresh basil or 1 tsp dried (or 1 tsp pesto)

1 Clove garlic minced

2 Tbls EVOO

1/4 c Red Cooking Wine 

S & P

lime

It's simple & eloquent any time!  It's a little something easy when you are making something nice just for you or multiply it and make it for a group!  You can put it on about anything.  Try it over your favorite pasta, rice or even a baked potato.

Heat EVOO in pan.  Saute the artichoke hearts & garlic to a golden brown.  Add either the basil or pesto (your choice). Then, deglaze the pan with Cooking Wine (This is my choice, yours might be different.  It simply means salt has been added to the wine, so it's not good for drinking but wonderful for cooking. All the alcohol content cooks out while deglazing pan. You can always substitute a little chicken broth in it's place).  Now fold in the fresh spinach, just until wilted & add S&P. Squeeze a little fresh lime on top right before eating!

To dress it up a little, you can saute peeled shrimp with the artichokes & garlic. Mmmm! I'ts a light, easy & healthy dish!  After all, you deserve it!
