I added a bunch of chopped garlic to mine based on comments and my family loved it. I combined 2 fresh artichokes and 1 can of artichokes as that is what I had.
Not a good recipe. Followed it to the letter and the taste was just unpleasant.
I made this with canned artichoke and added saffron to the broth. I didn’t have Arborio so used Asian rice. It was very good, maybe could have used a kick but overall I would make this again.
