A quick search yielded this recipe.I had a leek, artihokes and tomatoes.What luck.It was low fat and healthy.I made it and it was yummy.I was not feeling well, so just tasted it.After a bowl full I feel great and am eyeing the leftovers.”

  • “Jan, thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe.All of the flavors, the smokey chicken and leek.The tomatoes and artichokes, which I always love together.I used canned artichokes, and they were a bit small, so I halved them instead of quartering them.A terrific dish to make again.Thanks for sharing.It goes into my T&T cookbook for sure.”
