Artichoke Hearts with Hollandaise Sauce and Mint
  • Serves 4
Author Notes

This is a recipe inspired by necessity to come up with an impressive yet simple first course for a last minute dinner party using ingredients I had on hand. I had torn the picture out of a magazine in the doctor's office but not the recipe so this is what I came up with. A beautiful start to a summer dinner. —foodfanatic
