Ina Garten Stuffed Artichokes Ingredients
- 6 large globe artichokes
- 3 tbsp of fresh bread crumbs
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 4 oz of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsp of chopped parsley
- 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic
- 2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 1 tbsp of capers, halved
- 2 oz of pitted and chopped black olives
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) of white wine
How To Make Ina Garten Stuffed Artichokes
- Prep the Artichokes: Start by peeling away the tough outer leaves. Chop off the top inch of the remaining leaves and use a spoon to remove the fuzzy choke inside. It’s a bit fiddly, but worth it for that perfect hollow center.
- Mix Up the Stuffing: In a bowl, toss together the bread crumbs, onion, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, tomatoes, capers, and olives. Season generously with salt and pepper. You want this mixture to sing with flavour!
- Stuff ‘Em: Pack the stuffing into the hollowed centres of the artichokes. Really get in there to fill them up. This is where the magic happens!
- Cook Them: Coat the bottom of a large, heavy casserole dish with olive oil. Warm it up over medium heat, then nestle your artichokes in snugly. Pour over the white wine, then cover the dish. Let it simmer gently for about an hour. You’re looking for the artichokes to become tender and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Recipe Tips
- Boost the flavor: Add a squeeze of lemon over the artichokes before cooking to enhance their natural tanginess and freshness.
- Ensure even cooking: Rotate the artichokes halfway through cooking to ensure they are evenly tender and perfectly cooked.
- Prevent browning: Rub the cut parts of the artichokes with a bit of lemon juice to prevent them from browning before you start stuffing them.
- Enhance stuffing texture: Toast the bread crumbs lightly before mixing with other ingredients to add a crunchier texture to the stuffing.
- Deepen flavors: Let the stuffed artichokes sit for ten minutes after cooking; this rest period helps the flavors to meld together beautifully.
What To Serve Stuffed Artichokes
Serve your hearty Stuffed Artichokes with quinoa pilaf, roasted bell peppers, steamed asparagus, crispy kale chips, and a tangy beetroot salad.
You can also pair them with a sharp arugula pesto, a refreshing cucumber dill salad for a unique touch.
How To Store Stuffed Artichokes Leftovers
To Refrigerate: Place leftover stuffed artichokes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Ensure they are cooled to room temperature to prevent condensation that could make them soggy.
To Freeze: Stuffed artichokes are best enjoyed fresh; however, freezing can alter their texture and moisture content, making them less appealing when reheated.
How To Reheat Leftovers Stuffed Artichokes
In The Oven: Place the leftover stuffed artichokes in a baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and reheat at 180°C for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This keeps them moist and flavorful.
In The Microwave: Reheat stuffed artichokes on medium power for 2-3 minutes, covered with a microwave-safe lid or wet paper towel to help steam them back to warmth without drying out.
In The Air Fryer: Reheat at 160°C for about 5-7 minutes. The air fryer is great for keeping the exterior slightly crisp while warming the inside thoroughly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if artichokes are fresh when buying?
Look for artichokes with tight, squeaky leaves. The stems should be firm and not overly dried out. Fresh artichokes will feel heavy for their size, indicating they are still hydrated and fresh.
What’s the best way to remove the choke from an artichoke?
To remove the choke effectively, cut off the top inch of the artichoke to expose the inner leaves and the choke. Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy part, being careful not to remove too much of the heart.
Can I prepare stuffed artichokes ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare stuffed artichokes up to one day in advance. Stuff them and keep them covered in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, proceed with the cooking instructions as usual.
