Artichoke and Kidney Bean Paella

Here's a keeper, for sure.  This was so easy and is very tasty.  I have never used Artichoke hearts for anything, so I wasn't sure about how they would taste.  They work very well in this recipe.  Just make sure you get the can, not the marinated ones that come in a jar.

Give this a try, it's really quite good.

Almost done cooking.  Sorry about the yellow tint.  It's because of the over the stove light.

Here it is ready to eat. Very, very tasty
