Challenge #94 - Quick Artichoke Medley

I love artichokes,  but they can be annoying to prepare fresh, so I am taking a little help for this dish with some frozen artichoke hearts.  Not as good as fresh, but a lot less work!
My originally intention did not include the cauliflower, but it was in the fridge so I decided to add it as I was cooking.  This turned out to be a simple and delicious dish. 
My husband enjoyed although he would have liked the addition of some sausage or rice with it!  So if you eat meat or seafood or enjoy rice (preferably brown or wild)  feel free to throw it it.  You should also feel free to play with other seasoning combinations.

Ingredients:
1 package frozen artichoke hearts (defrosted)
1 head cauliflower (chopped into florets)
1 can organic diced tomatoes
3-4 tbsp Veggie Broth
1-2 cloves garlic (you can substitute garlic powder or Herbamare)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Fresh or Dried Basil (to taste)

Step # 1 - Coat bottom of pan with veggie broth and zest in garlic cloves
Step # 2- Add in artichokes to begin to warm them
Step #3 - Add in cauliflower and diced tomatoes. Add sea salt and basil to taste. (You could also use Herbamare) Cover, bring to a bubble, then reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is fork tender (20-30 mins)
Step #4 - Enjoy!
