Wash artichokes, trim stems, pull off tough outer
leaves. Cut off top third and spread artichokes open by
placing upside down on table and pressing stem ends firmly.
With teaspoon, dig out center leaves and fuzzy portions. Brown
beef and onion in about 2 tablespoons olive or other cooking
oil. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley and allspice. Fill
centers of artichokes with meat mixture. Place artichokes in
deep baking dish; top each with thin slice of tomato. Put
1-inch boiling water in pan; add lemon juice. Stand artichokes
in pan. Top generously with salt and oil. Cover closely.
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until
tender. Serves 6.
