Notes: Flavored with garlic and olive oil, baby artichokes and tiny
potatoes evoke the simple straightforward flavors of Provence. When I
recreated the dish back home, I found that I preferred using the smallest
artichokes I could find because they are particularly tender and more of
the leaf may be eaten.
