Wednesday Leftovers

To go along with the leftover coq au vin and gnocchi from Tuesday, I sauteed some baby artichokes we picked up at TJs. To prep the artichokes, I cut off the stem and the top half, then trimmed around the outside to remove the tough parts of the leaves. I sauteed the trimmed artichokes roughly following a recipe from Bittman, though I substituted basil for tarragon and added a bit of white vinegar.

The results were good, but I think I'd like a sauce that has a bit more body to it... maybe I'll attempt a beurre blanc for the remaining artichokes. My previous attempt at a beurre blanc didn't work, so it'd be interesting to try again.
