My Nana and my Mom were born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. Nana served this from her tiny kitchen when we visited in the summer-time and my Mom eventually learned the recipe so she could serve it @ home. We all loved it; except Mom! She hated artichokes so it was pretty sweet of her to make it for us! Moms are like that, aren't they? I never learned the recipe but recently felt the need to return to my Savannah roots. This is my take on what I remember and it tastes pretty close to the original! Now that my sisters know I make this dish, I have to make it often. I think Mom would be proud!
