How to make it

  • Cut the stems off and the bottom ring of leaves.
  • Cut off the points ends of the leaves. Remove any leaves that are purple rather than green.
  • Wash the artichokes.
  • Mix cheese, garlic, bread crumbs, and 2 Tbs of olive oil.
  • Gently spread the artichoke leaves a little, so you can fill each layer with the bread crumb mixture. Work from the bottom-up.
  • Place the artichokes in a pot with about 1-2 inches of water.
  • Drizzle remaining olive oil and the juice of the lemons over the tops of the artichokes.
  • Cover and steam 45 minutes. Check occasionally that the water has not completely evaporated.
  • The artichokes are done when a leaf can be easily pulled off.

    this is very similar to my recipe and it's soooo good! I am rating this a 5 as the only difference is the lemon! This was a dinner treat when I was growing up on the east coast MANY years ago! I make it at least twice a year. Good post!
