Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

  • Combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, lemon, onion, and garlic on the baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle salt over the vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.
  • Place the lemon cut side down.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes appear deflated.
  • Stir once halfway through to ensure nothing burns.
  • Meanwhile, place the soy chorizo in a skillet and brown over medium heat for about 8 minutes.
  • Set aside.
  • Once the veggies are roasted, crush the garlic with the flat of a knife and transfer it to a food processor along with three-fourths of the tomatoes, the onion, and cilantro.
  • Squeeze the roasted lemon juice over the mixture.
  • Pulse several times to create a chunky salsa.
  • Cut the bell pepper into large chunks and arrange them on a warm tortilla.

Notes & Wine Advice

Serving Tip:
Want to take these tacos to the next level? Top them with your favorite animal-friendly shredded cheese, a dollop of nondairy sour cream, or some fresh sliced avocado for extra creaminess and flavor.
Wine Advice:
With the bold, spicy flavors of these tacos, you need a wine that’s ready for a fiesta! A crisp, chilled Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect partner. Its vibrant acidity will cut through the richness of the chorizo and the smoky notes of the roasted salsa, balancing the spice and leaving your palate feeling refreshed.

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Small baking dish
  • Kitchen shears
  • Knife

Instructions

  • Prepare the artichokes by removing the top one-third of the leaves and the stem.
  • Use kitchen shears to cut off the pointy tips of the remaining leaves.
  • Open the artichoke and remove the inner purple flowers, scraping out the “hairy” parts.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Place the prepared artichokes in the boiling water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F).
  • Pour the broth into a small baking dish.
  • To make the filling: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sauté the onion, mushrooms, and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes, until fragrant and translucent.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Bring the water to a boil, add the couscous, cover, and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  • Add the couscous, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar to the sautéed mixture.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Stuff the mixture into the center and between the leaves of the artichokes.
  • Top with pine nuts, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the artichokes in the baking dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pine nuts are golden brown.

Notes & Wine Advice

Serving Tip:
For an extra touch of deliciousness, serve these stuffed artichokes with a side of warm marinara sauce or a simple vegan mayonnaise for dipping. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top adds a bright, zesty finish that will make the flavors pop.
Wine Advice:
With a dish this elegant, you need a wine that’s equally sophisticated. A light, dry white wine like a crisp Pinot Grigio or a zesty Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect partner. Their bright acidity and subtle citrus notes will beautifully complement the savory filling and the earthy artichoke. It’s a pairing that’s so good, you might forget all about the main course!

Notes & Wine Advice

Wine Advice:
With a dish this complex—spicy from the cayenne, nutty from the peanut butter, and a little bit sweet from the agave—you need a wine that can handle the party. A light-bodied red like a Pinot Noir is a great choice; its delicate fruitiness won’t clash with the bold flavors. For a refreshing contrast, a chilled rosé will cut through the richness of the peanut butter and complement the spicy kick perfectly.
