Here’s a modern-day, healthy take on a traditional Sephardi dish that has long been popular in Jewish communities in Jerusalem and North Africa: artichoke-stuffed meatballs. They’re filled with veggies and use lean chicken meat to keep things healthy. It used to be difficult to clean and prepare so many artichokes (even though they’ve been part of the Jewish kitchen for many years); today, frozen, ready-to-use artichoke bottoms are sold in the freezer aisle of many grocery stores. If you can’t find frozen artichoke bottoms, follow this recipe making chicken meatballs instead. It’s an ideal summertime Shabbat dinner!
