Lady Peas With Artichoke Hearts

• Artichokes:
• 2 cups water
• 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
• 12 medium artichokes
• 4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Peas:
• 4 cups water
• 2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 4 1/2 cups fresh lady peas
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 cup sliced shallots
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

1. To prepare artichokes, combine 2 cups water and 3 tablespoons lemon juice in a bowl. Cut off stem of each artichoke to within 1 inch of base; peel stem. Remove bottom leaves and tough outer leaves of each artichoke, leaving tender heart and bottom. Remove fuzzy thistle from bottom with a spoon. Cut each artichoke into quarters lengthwise. Place artichoke quarters in lemon water, and drain.
2. Combine 4 cups broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Add artichoke quarters; cook 20 minutes or until tender. Drain through a fine sieve over a bowl, reserving artichokes and 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Cover and set aside.
3. To prepare peas, combine 4 cups water, 2 cups broth, and peas in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes or until peas are tender. Drain.
4. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; saute 3 minutes. Add garlic; saute 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid, artichokes, peas, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute. Stir in 3 tablespoons lemon juice and parsley.
