Ingredients
- 4 Artichokes
- 1 Lemon; juiced
- 1 large Red onion; peeled; cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 small Red bell pepper; seeded; cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 large Carrot; cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 cup Peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 2 cups Long grain rice

- 3 Bay leaves

Directions
Snap off and discard tough outer leaves from base of artichokes and trim stems.
Cut off and discard top two-thirds of each artichoke; quarter heart and remove fuzzy choke inside.
As each artichoke heart is prepared, immediately place quarters into a bowl of water with juice from lemon to prevent hearts from discoloring.
Set aside until ready to add to rice.
Heat olive oil over medium fire in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven.
Add rice to oil; cook, stirring constantly, until rice turns opaque.
Add drained artichoke hearts to rice, then all remaining ingredients.
Stir to mix, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover.
Let cook without stirring or uncovering for 20-25 minutes, until water is absorbed completely.
