Harissa Simmered Artichokes on Toast

My favorite part of winter is what I like to call: Simmer Season – the time when everything gets slowly cooked on the stove and all warm and delicious, and this Harissa Simmered Artichokes Toast recipe is the perfect example of that!

And it’s not a stew, it’s a “simmer.” You first sear the artichoke hearts to get nice color on them, then let them slowly cook in a simple harissa broth to develop a lot of color and flavor. The texture is tender, but you counteract it with breadcrumbs on top and a crispy toast below. Add in some hummus and it’s a perfect easy weekday meal! Plus it’s just so cozy. Yet another reason to love simmer season!
