Artichoke Stew with Lemon And Dill: A Summer Tradition
This week, we’re making artichoke stew with lemon and dill inspired by Paula Wolfert. Our first step is to take a dozen or so baby artichokes, remove the outer tough leaves, and remove the inner choke or thistle with a spoon or melon baller.
An important note is to cover the artichokes with lemon juice to help with oxidation.

Artichokes are delicious when prepared this way.
In this particular version of the recipe that I made this year (every year is different), the first layer was the ube (purple yam). The second was a white russet potato. The third layer was the baby artichokes that were ready to be cooked. Then I added additional vegetables.
I also roast radish sometimes. I love the extra color and the bit of pungency that they add. This particular dish does well when it cooks for a long time over slow heat so that some of the sugars in the vegetables have time to caramelize. That softens their flavor a bit. We really enjoy this in our home over the summer months.
Save this for later on Pinterest. Forward this post to friends who would like to have more plant-based food in their lives.
Artichokes are a Nutrient Dense Foods that Can Be a Powerful Foundation in a Plant-based diet.
The food we eat has a major impact on our health, but the way we prepare it can also have an effect. Eating a diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can lead to many health problems, such as obesity and heart disease. But what if I told you that changing these factors could make all the difference? Just by cooking your meals with whole food, plant-based ingredients, you can improve your health.

This is such a vibrant dish!
I like to put the potatoes on the bottom so that all of the flavors can combine. We make this once a year. Before it goes into the oven. We add a slurry that’s water, lemon, sea salt, olive oil, and sugar. This helps create a wonderful sauce that brings all the flavors together. You can either let it sit in the pan that it’s cooked in for about an hour or so or transfer it into a dish you’ll be serving.
Either one is okay. I cover it to let all the flavors come together over the next hour. Don’t put too much energy into stirring as it’ll start to break down the vegetables, which are more delicate after they’ve been cooked. When it’s time to serve, you can have this with a beautiful flat pasta like pappardelle.
You’re sure to see an empty bowl at the end of the meal. No leftovers whatsoever.

This spring time meal is wonderful when the roses are in bloom and artichokes are abundant. The flavors in this are best after a couple of days.
Ingredients
UnitsScale
2cups water
2 lemons one for lemon water for the artichokes and the other for cooking (and perhaps a third at the end for extra flavor)
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1–2 tsp sugar I use sucanat
12 baby artichokes
4 scallions
1/4cup dill chopped reserve some for garnish
1 ube squash peeled and diced
1cup russet potato peeled and diced
5 radish peeled and diced
1cup yellow squash and zucchini
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325F.
Remove the outer leaves and thistle from the artichokes. You can remove the tops of the leaves as seen in the video too. Using a spoon or melon baller helps to get all the thistle out. Trim the stems as well.
Place them in lemon water to prevent oxidation.
Layer the vegetables in a baking dish that you can cover. I love this enamel one from Dansk.
Combine the olive oil, salt, water, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pour over the vegetable mixture.
Cover and let cook at 325 for 75-90 minutes.
Let stand for 1-2 hours after cooking.
Serve with sourdough bread or fresh pasta. I used pappardelle from the market which was great.
