I think by now I have tried all variations of this very healthy and tasty dish. I posted this recipe before when I used chopped onions, instead of pearl onions, and also with peas. The basic ingredients are artichokes, potatoes, and carrots. You can use fresh artichokes or frozen artichokes, like I do. You can use pearl onions, or chopped onions, or chopped green onions. You can use sliced carrots or baby carrots. You can use fresh dill, or dried dill, or no dill. You can use white potatoes, or Idaho, or Russet, or any other kind of potato. You can serve with feta cheese at the side or sprinkle crumbled feta on top. Try some freshly ground pepper, too. I’m not saying the result is always the same but the result is always fine. Excellent family dish!
