Ingredients
  • 4 Artichokes, fresh ones
Directions
  1. 1
    Trim the tops and outer leaves of the artichokes with scissors, cutting off the top third and tips of remaining leaves to remove spikes. Cut stalks level with the base.
  2. 2
    Place artichokes in a kettle of boiling salted water and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a leaf pulls out easily.
  3. 3
    Drain the artichokes, refresh under cold running water, and let stand upside down until cool.
  4. 4
    Saute green onions in 2 tablespoons of olive oil slowly until just tender.
  5. 5
    Stir in chopped mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  6. 6
    Stir in bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese (or vegan alternative).
  7. 7
    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let stand until cool.
  8. 8
    Stir in white wine, lemon juice, and the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
  9. 9
    Season well with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  10. 10
    Prepare each artichoke by pulling out center leaves to reach the choke, then scrape out all the hairy choke with a teaspoon.
  11. 11
    Fill each artichoke cavity with the dressing mixture and top with chopped parsley.
  12. 12
    Wrap each artichoke in foil, leaving the top open.
  13. 13
    Place the artichokes on the smoker grid and smoke for 1 to 1.5 hours.

Note

Note: The original recipe includes ham and Parmesan cheese, which are not vegan. For a vegan version, omit the ham and use nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan substitute. The provided nutrition data reflects the original non-vegan ingredients; adjust accordingly if making substitutions.

Tip: To prevent artichokes from browning while prepping, dip cut surfaces in lemon juice immediately.

Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Variation: For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the stuffing mixture.
