ITALIAN STUFFED ARITCHOKES
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
3 to 4 artichokes (1 per
person)
Italian bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese (sprinkle
kind)
olive oil
salt and pepper
garlic powder
Directions
To prepare artichokes: Cut stem off, leaving about
1-inch with scissors. Clip off pointed "thorns" from top of
each leaf. Wash and stand up (leaves point up) in a large,
deep pot. Put about 1 1/2-inches water in bottom of pot. Put
lid on pot and steam until leaves will slightly pull away from
center of artichoke. While artichokes are steaming, prepare
"stuffing".
In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs with salt, pepper,
garlic powder and Parmesan cheese to taste. When artichokes
are softened, take pot off stove; leave artichokes in pot.
With small teaspoon, put stuffing down into each leaf. Sprin-
kle artichokes with any stuffing that you have left. Drizzle
artichokes with olive oil. Cover and steam again until done.
Make sure there is water in bottom of pot at all times
