We love to go to car shows and see the restored cars from our youth! This recipe came from an afternoon car show and a stop at the market afterward. The market had a stack of Ocean Mist baby artichokes in plastic clamshells and the rest is, as they say, history. We used what we had, though the Manchego cheese and a nice bottle of wine was part of the market stop!

How To Make car show artichokes

    2
    Preheat oven to 350. In a large sauté pan, sauté onions in butter for a minute then add garlic and cook until onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms and stir to release liquid in mushrooms.
