I think there's way too much lemon in this recipe which overwhelms the artichokes. However, the recipe has a lot going for it so I think next time I'll use half the lemon juice and zest as suggested and see how it goes. I found that the lemon got less overpowering as the dish cooled down, oddly, so maybe best served cold?
A fresh, light and sunny pasta.
I used lime juice and fresh artichokes. Though the artichokes could not compete with the lime juice. I would suggest that if you use fresh artishokes to marinate them first. Also I would use less lime/lemon juice then mentioned in the recipe.
Definitly a pasta you would like to serve on a warm summer evening.
this was fantasic,as I live in South Carolina usa, Iam able to get the best Grouper , I broiled it(grilled) brushed with olive oil and salt and black pepper. Poured the juices over the fish to serve. The lemon and artichoke complemented the fish so well. So good I am making it again for my son who is an executive chef tomorrow and I will sleep well tonight!!!!!
