From conner909 16 years agoIngredients
- 4 artichokes, tops trimmed and stems removed shopping list
- 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs shopping list
- 1 cup parmesan cheese shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- olive oil. shopping list
How to make it
- Clean trimmed artichokes by running cold water over them.
- Turn them upside down on a paper towel to drain.
- Spread artichoke leaves a little with your fingers.
- Mix breadcrumbs, cheese, salt and pepper together.
- Spoon stuffing mixing into most of the artichoke leaves.
- Set the artichokes in a pan.
- Add enough water to cover the artichoke bottoms, about 2 inches.
- Drizzle olive oil over the tops of the artichokes.
- Cover and bring to boil on top of stove.
- Turn heat down to low and continue to simmer, covered, for at least one hour.
- Test for doneness by pulling one artichoke leaf and tasting it.
- If it pulls easily and tastes tender, it is done. Sometimes it might take another 30 minutes. Do not eat the fuzzy choke part.
- I am guessing at the quantities since I don’t measure ingredients for this recipe. You can also add chopped garlic and/or chopped basil to the stuffing mix.
- In trimming artichokes, I usually cut about an inch or inch and a half off the top.
- The stems are removed so that the artichokes can ‘sit up straight’ in the pot!
- This recipemakes four main servings, when served with a salad.
