Author Notes

From Jacques Pepin’s Poulets & Legumes cookbook: “I love frozen baby peas, which are the smallest, sweetest peas. Frozen artichokes are another favorite. I always keep both on hand, so I can put this dish together whenever I have to feed unexpected guests.”

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup homemade chicken stock, low-sodium canned chicken broth, or water
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh savory or thyme
  • 1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts
  • 1 10-ounce package frozen baby peas
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Sprinkle on the flour, mix well, and cook for 30 seconds. Add the stock or water and savory or thyme and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the artichokes and peas (frozen or defrosted), salt, and pepper, mix well, and bring to a boil (this will take longer if the vegetables were frozen when added). Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve.

I served this with homemade pain l'ancienne, and dollop of ricotta. It's so simple, but truly a meal that's more than the sum of its parts.

This was delicious and super super easy. I used oil packed artichoke hearts - monterey farms artihearts - from the fresh vegetable section in whole foods.

I made this tonight and it was delicious. I used Bird's Eye artichoke hearts from Market Basket. I will certainly make this again.

This looks delicious! I would like to know if it would be possible to substitute cornstarch for flour? Normally I would never think of changing one of his recipes, but I need it to be gluten free. I have often used them interchangeably, but not sure about this one. Thoughts?

I think that would be totally fine, it's just used to thicken the sauce to coat the veggies.

This is a dish that is often made in Greece in the spring, using fresh artichokes. I stick to the frozen foods, although what I find are artichoke bottoms, not hearts. They're equally good. We usually add dill, fresh or dried - even better. Cooked potato also adds a heartier feel to the dish, especially during lent.

My mother used to make frozen peas and artichoke hearts back in the 1960’s and it remains one of my favorite veggie side dishes ever!

I agree with Vicki. My local grocery chain, Market Basket, usually has Bird’s Eye.
