This meal is very quick. It is a great summer meal. It is light, fresh and tastes so amazing. I go to the farmers market at a fairgrounds every wed. It has about 50 vendors. It is insane. It has more fresh produce then you will ever see.Not to mention VERY affordable. I got a lot of new veggies today and I like to throw things together. I like fresh and tasty. This is full of yummy veggies and the fresh taste of lemon and basil. I hope you enjoy.

I served this with rice. (I actually added a little lemon and lemon zest to my rice too)
Miranda I have STILL not had a chance to make any of the dishes I wanted to!! Can you believe it? Time has just not been on my side. However! I think this recipe would be a PERFECT meal to make for my mom and mom-in-law for lunch this Sunday! Thanks so much for the recipe, it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful, spring-like dish.
ReplyDeletelook nice :) xx Rico-Recipes
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures with ingredients that completely go together. This really looks like something you'd get served in a restaraunt or even better than that!
ReplyDeleteI love artichokes and lemon with chicken, and this week I think I made way too much rice, and was trying to eat it with everything...you dish looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great (especially served with rice! My fave . . . ) I love the pop of color from the cherry tomatoes; I really need to try leeks. I've eaten them but never cooked with them.
ReplyDeleteI have just tried leeks recently. They are so great. Sometimes they remind me of a mild cabbage. Thank you for the comments.
ReplyDeleteNice recipe. I like the additional touch of lemon and zest to the rice. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never had artichokes or leeks...odd huh? But gosh does that look good!
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely wonderful!
