For one of Scott’s Christmas gifts, I got us a weekend away in Easton, MD for New Years Eve weekend.
It’s a cute little Chesapeake Bay town with lots of seafood, antiques and quaint everything. Our hotel was gorgeous. (I promise, Side Dish goodness is a part of this!)
And they had an awesome restaurant with a heated outdoor patio. Which was great because I got to drink champagne outside in December without freezing to death.
We walked around, hung out and checked out some great restaurants.
One of which was Mason’s, a local farm to table restaurant with an emphasis on local seafood as well. I got a white fish (forget which kind exactly) on top of the creamy artichoke, leek, and tomato side dish that was amazing. I’ve been fantasizing about it inappropriately for almost a month now like a weirdo.
So I recreated it for you guys. It’s crazy simple, super healthy and insanely delicious.
Creamy Artichoke, Leek and Tomato Side Dish
Creamy Artichoke, Leek and Tomato Side Dish - an easy, healthy, gluten-free and paleo side dish recipe!
Ingredients
- 12 oz artichoke hearts I used frozen
- 2 medium sized leeks washed and sliced
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes sliced in half
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup homemade chicken broth
- 1/2 cup raw milk or coconut cream for strict paleo option
Instructions
- Heat pan to medium heat.
- Sautee the leeks in butter until soft.
- Add the artichoke hearts and chicken broth, it's okay if they're frozen.
- Cook the broth down and soften the artichokes.
- Add the tomatoes and raw milk or coconut cream.
- Cook until tomatoes are softened and the milk or cream has cooked down.
Notes
To make this side dish vegan, use coconut oil instead of butter and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

so you serve it warm and not as a cold salad???
Yes, a warm side to your main dish.
Coconut cream as in the thick part of the coconut milk in a can?
Yes, that works.
