Category Winner: Sides and Salads. "I simply love the taste of this unique little vegetable. The recipe has a bit of lemony tang, and I opt for a Vidalia onion to complement that flavor. The easy preparation ensures that the dish comes out the same every time you make it. " —Nikki LoRé, Rochester, NY

Repeat procedure with remaining artichokes. Drain and set aside.

  • Place onion in center of a Dutch oven. Arrange artichokes in a single layer around onion. Add broth and remaining ingredients to pan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 minutes or just until onion is tender (artichokes will be very tender). Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon juice. Remove artichokes and onion from pan with a slotted spoon; set aside, and keep warm. Bring broth mixture to a boil; cook 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour sauce over artichoke mixture.
