Stuffed Artichokes

  • 4 lg. or med. artichokes
  • 4 slices bread (I use wheat)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup minced parsley
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 artichoke stems
  • 1 cup Romano cheese
  1. Remove outside lower leaves and cut off stems. peel stems, dice in small pieces, and put in bowl. Cut off top 1/3 of artichoke and trim off the sharp ends of each remaining leaf tip. Scrape inside of artichokes, removing the sharp center and fiberous choke. Wash artichokes and drain.
  2. Prepare stuffing:
  3. Break bread into small pieces and dampen with oil, mix well with ingredients in bowl. Add the cup of grated cheese, garlic, salt and pepper, parsley mixing well.
  4. Spread open center of each artichoke and stuff with a generous handful of stuffing. Put the prepared artichokes in a deep wide pan, add water, cover and cook simmer 30 minutes on medium heat or until leaves are tender.
  5. Eat by pulling out individual leaves and scraping off the tender meaty ends.
