Ingredients

¾ lb baby artichokes

12 green onions , white part only, roots removed , in one piece

2 Tbsp butter

½ tsp salt

½ cup water

¼ lb sugar snap peas, stringed

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp parsley, minced

1 tsp tarragon leaves

Preparation

Trim the artichokes.

If using mediums, quarter them lengthwise.

Place them in a bowl of acidulated water to prevent discoloration.

Cook the artichokes, green onions, butter, salt, and water over medium heat in a large covered skillet until the artichokes are tender for about 15 minutes.

Shake the pan from time to time to stir.

If necessary, add a little more water to keep the bottom covered.

When the artichokes are easily pierced with a knife, remove the lid and add the sugar snap peas.

Cover and cook until the peas are just tender for about 3 minutes.

Remove the lid, raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring until only a thin coating of liquid remains on the bottom of the pan for about 3 minutes.

Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and tarragon then heat through.

Serve warm.
