Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large artichokes
- 1 lemon
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Prepare the artichokes by cutting off the stem so they can sit flat. Remove the top inch of the artichoke and snip the tips of all the leaves with scissors to remove the sharp points. Rub with lemon to prevent browning.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the water and add the lemon halves.
Add artichokes to the boiling water and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the leaves can be pulled off easily. Remove and drain upside down on a towel to remove excess water.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Gently spread the leaves of each artichoke and fill with the breadcrumb mixture, spreading the filling evenly among the leaves.
Place the stuffed artichokes in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil evenly over each artichoke.
Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish to a depth of about 1/2 inch.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tops are nicely browned and crispy.
Serve hot or warm, enjoying the delightful combination of tender artichoke and savory filling.
