  4. Spray a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium-heat on the stove. Once warm, add the sliced leeks and gently cook until softened, about 10 minutes stirring often to avoid excessive browning.
  5. Once the leeks are cooked through and softened, add the artichoke hearts to the skillet until warmed then remove from heat.

After 20 minutes, the top should be slightly brown check for doneness by pricking a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it is done. If not, return to over for 5 additional minutes and repeat toothpick process until the toothpick comes out clean.
