Italian Antipasto

This two-page recipe includes separate recipe for preparing garbanzo beans, cauliflower and carrots, mushrooms, swiss chard, pepper, Artichokes, and a generic "other items". My DH prepared all of these for our cookbook club, as he noticed that I was very burnt out from work, travel, and remodeling.

The marinade recipes were remarkable in the large amount of olive oil called for, but all that olive oil made everything delicious. Also notable was that the recipe does not specify the number it feeds, and this made a lot. Plenty for our dinner of 9 people, and enough left for tomorrow's dinner of 8. The artichokes might have been the most impressive - I liked these much more than the traditional boiled artichoke dipped in butter or mayo. The mushrooms were also spectacular, and I could eat the cauliflower any day.
