Alphabet Veggie Recipe Swap #1: Artichoke

In an effort to encourage us all to eat more veggies - and enjoy them! - I thought I'd start this alphabetized vegetable-based recipe swap series.

Each swap will feature one type of vegetable, and we will swap recipes that feature or use that vegetable.

Recipes that are vegetarian/vegan are preferred, or at least are veg-friendly (like, the original calls for bacon but you can easily leave it out, for example). Please indicate with your recipe whether it is vegan, vegetarian, or veg-friendly.

You will get three partners and will send AT LEAST one recipe to each. If you have more, that's great. One is required. It can be your own creation, copied from another source, or even a link to a website.

If you have a purchasing/storage/preparation/growing tip related to that vegetable, feel free to add that to your email

If your partner sends you a recipe, please give them a 5. If they send several, or you really love that recipe, give a heart :)

This swap will feature the lovely artichoke. Do you have an artichoke recipe you love? Perhaps a dip? Or on a pizza?

I will try to set up a swap in this series once a week or so, but I can't guarantee it because of a flexible and unpredictable work schedule.

This series will be open to newbies and have no minimum rating requirement, because hey, its just an email recipe. Its not like it costs you any money.
