A little fusion cooking in your kitchen tonight! Artichokes in oyster sauce and ginger, a powerful side dish for pork or beef!
I love fresh baby artichokes…
But here in Spain they are hard to find.
I only saw them in the bigger fresh food market up north in the capital. Because of that I made these artichokes in oyster sauce using frozen ones. And I must say that those are actually of very good quality!
Or they wouldn’t end up in my freezer of course.
