Globe Artichokes With Caramelised Onion & Feta

I'm having a love affair with artichokes at the moment. Apart from being seriously tasty, artichokes are also full of fibre, low in carbs, a great source of cancer preventative antioxidants and they also boost bile production which is important for detoxification and digestive health. There is so much to love.

Hope you love this recipe xx
