Stuffed Artichokes

Few dishes feel as timeless and comforting as a platter of stuffed artichokes fresh from the oven. In this cherished family recipe from TABLE Magazine publisher Justin Matase, the artichoke’s earthy, nutty depth takes center stage—not just its tender heart. Each leaf becomes a vessel for savory chorizo, garlicky breadcrumbs, and a whisper of white wine, creating a dish that’s as aromatic as it is satisfying.

A Recipe for Sharing

This is Sunday dinner cooking at its finest: unhurried, generous, and meant to be shared. The slow bake in chicken broth infuses every artichoke leaf with flavor, while the final uncovered roast crisps the tops to golden perfection. It’s a recipe that invites you to gather around the table, pull each leaf free, and savor the simple pleasure of good food made with care.

Whether you’re introducing artichokes to your kitchen for the first time or revisiting a beloved classic, this dish offers a beautiful balance of rustic tradition and bold flavor. Serve it as the centerpiece of a leisurely meal, and watch it become a family favorite in your own home.

Instructions

1. Trim the tops off your artichokes with a chef’s knife removing the spiny ends or thorns from the petals. Spread open the petals to find the center of the choke. Using a paring knife, cut in a circular fashion around the circumference of the heart to trim the choke from the sides. Using a melon baller, scrape out the brush-like center of the artichoke until you expose the fleshy center of the heart. Rinse artichokes under cold water to remove the remaining choke.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add uncased chorizo, smashed garlic, bread crumbs, egg wine and salt and pepper and mix until combined. Press the stuffing into the artichoke center and down the sides into the petals.
3. Add artichokes to a dutch oven, add chicken stock about 1.5 inches up the sides of the artichokes, cover and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Finish for 15 minutes uncovered to crisp the tops.
