The artichokes add the sodium. I don't even know if you can buy low sodium artichokes.

Incredible!
I made this last night and it was wonderful! I was a little short of a cup on the shallots, so I added 2 tbsp of minced garlic. We will definately be making it again...everyone loved it, even my 2 year old daughter! Thanks for sharing!

Incredible!
I don't like asparagus so I didn't eat any, but my husband absolutely loved this! So I think asparagus lovers will be a big fan!
