**Traditional Artichoke Stew Recipe:**
This classic recipe captures the essence of Mediterranean cooking. Artichokes take center stage, complemented by a symphony of vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions. The addition of flavorful herbs such as thyme, oregano, and rosemary infuses the stew with an aromatic depth. Juicy tomatoes and a rich vegetable broth create a savory base that ties all the ingredients together.
**Vegan Artichoke Stew Recipe:**
For a plant-based twist, our vegan Artichoke Stew offers a symphony of flavors without compromising on taste. Tender artichokes, hearty chickpeas, and an array of vegetables come together in a delectable union. A blend of aromatic herbs and spices, including cumin, coriander, and paprika, adds a touch of warmth and complexity. The creamy coconut milk lends a velvety richness to the broth, creating a satisfying and nutritious stew.
MEDITERRANEAN ARTICHOKE AND FRESH FAVA STEW
Favas, artichokes, spring onions and green garlic are all fleetingly in season at the same time. Here's a way to use them all together. This dish is based on a Greek olive oil recipe, meaning that the vegetables are traditionally stewed in two or three times as much oil as I use here. I substitute water for some of the oil.

Steps:
- Trim the artichokes, cut in half and immediately submerge in a bowl of water acidulated with the juice of 1/2 lemon.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy casserole or Dutch oven. Add the onion, and cook, stirring, until tender, about three minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for a minute until fragrant. Drain the artichokes, and add the skinned fava beans, the fennel or dill, and the juice of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons) and the remaining olive oil. Add enough water to just cover everything, and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 20 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the broth fragrant.
- Turn the heat to high, and reduce the liquid in the pan by about a third. Stir in a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Taste and adjust salt. Serve warm.

MEDITERRANEAN ARTICHOKE STEW
A zesty, hearty dish that is delicious both hot AND cold. Artichokes, lemon, and some spices make up the base of the flavor, and the addition of potatoes and garbanzo beans (chickpeas) add substance. Wonderful served with just a fresh green salad. I adapted this from a Madhur Jaffrey recipe from "World Vegetarian" ("Artichokes Stewed with Potatoes," labeled as Moroccan) by adjusting the spices a little bit and adding the chickpeas.

Steps:
- Peel and dice potatoes into 1" or so chunks. Put in a medium (3 quart or so) pot along with the frozen artichokes.
- Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas and add to the pot. Halve the lemon and either squeeze it on a juicer, or pick out as many seeds as possible and squeeze directly into the pot. Add olive oil, spices, and water (you want it to just barely cover the solid ingredients).
- Stir ingredients in pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cook for about 20 minutes, either covered or uncovered - if you want it to be soupier, cover the pot, but if you want a lot of the liquid to evaporate and be more like a stew, leave it uncovered. Stir occasionally. You can always cook it longer than 20 minutes if you like your potatoes very soft, and they will absorb more flavor the longer you cook. Really, it is hard to overcook this dish.
MEDITERRANEAN ARTICHOKE AND RED LENTIL STEW
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Boil lentils in a large pot of boiling water until tender, drain and rinse.
- In a large pan heat half of the olive oil and add onion, cook until onion is translucent.
- Add remaining oil, artichoke, garlic, capers, parsley, olives and tomatoes and cook, stirring until combined.
- Add the lentils, water, tomato paste, vinegar and sugar, cook for a further 3 minutes until combined and slightly thickened.
- Serve garnished with some extra parsley and some crusty bread.
Tips:
- Use fresh artichokes: Fresh artichokes have a more vibrant flavor and texture than canned or frozen artichokes.
- Trim the artichokes properly: To trim artichokes, remove the tough outer leaves and the sharp thorns at the tips of the leaves. You should also remove the fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke.
- Cook the artichokes until they are tender: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any vegetables that you like, such as zucchini, carrots, potatoes, or green beans.
- Season the stew well: This stew is flavored with a variety of spices, including cumin, paprika, and turmeric. You can adjust the amount of spices to your taste.
- Serve the stew with a side of bread or rice: This stew is a hearty and filling meal. Serve it with a side of bread or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
This Mediterranean artichoke stew is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its vibrant flavors and textures, this stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
