Overview
Here is our recipe contest winner from 2012. This recipe will give you an idea of how to compose YOUR recipe for our annual contest! This is a fabulous dish on many levels. It's so Italian. It's simple but has many layers of flavors. It's sort of a surf and turf, the turf being the mushrooms and artichokes. With that said, feel free to add a steak! It has that kick of spicy chile flakes "to taste" so if you like it really spicy like I do, go for it! And the addition of sun dried tomatoes to this dish is kind of not an addition, but an inclusion. The sun dried tomatoes' texture and flavor blend naturally into the mediterranean culinary paradigm found here. In other words, the sun dried tomatoes make this dish explode with flavor and even add a nice splash of color. In OTHER words, this recipe is a WINNER. Let's get cookin'!
