Artichoke Gratinata

This is the kind of side dish you would find on a steakhouse menu, rich and decadent. Frozen artichokes make this impressive dish quite simple to create. I like to bake it in individual gratin dishes because each serving gets its own crusty browned top, my favorite part!

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup Marsala wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Warm the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the artichoke hearts, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and sauté until the artichoke hearts are starting to brown at the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and wine and simmer for 3 minutes. Transfer the artichoke mixture to a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.

    Step 3

    Melt the butter in the same skillet used to cook the artichokes. Add the bread crumbs and stir to coat with the butter. Stir in the Parmesan, then sprinkle the bread-crumb mixture over the artichokes. Bake until the top is golden, about 10 minutes.
