I saw this idea in a magazine I picked up at a liquor store. I was all excited to try this new recipe, then started reading it and it wanted me to cook the artichokes, and the sauce, well frankly sounded horrid. So I used seasoned artichoke hearts and took their idea of, what sounded like, a cold oily lemon caper sauce and made a warm lemon caper cream sauce.
