STUFFED ARTICHOKES

A delicious stuffing for a special change from ordinary boiled or steamed artichokes.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 whole artichokes
3 slices Italian bread, cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
⅛ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
½ teaspoon dried oregano
5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Snip the pointed tips of artichoke leaves, and cut off the stems. Wash and drain. Holding artichoke firmly by base, firmly rap the top of it on a hard surface; this will open it so it can be stuffed.
  • In a medium bowl combine bread cubes, garlic, parsley, Romano cheese, oregano, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, salt and pepper; mix well.
  • Press about 1/2 cup of stuffing into each artichoke. Tightly pack stuffed artichokes together in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven. Add enough water to reach half way up artichokes and add 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour, or until leaves pull out easily.

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (approximately 1-pound) artichokes, (washed and dried (Lyons if possible))
juice of 3 lemons, (divided (about 1/2 cup))
½ cup plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons shallots, (finely chopped )
3 tablespoons garlic, (minced)
⅓ cup dry white wine
3¼ cups fresh breadcrumbs
⅓ cup Italian parsley, (washed and dried, finely chopped)
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, (finely grated)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a steamer pot with a few inches of water, and place a steamer basket on top. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Turn the heat to low and let it simmer.
  • Use a Chef's knife to cut off about 1-inch from the top of each artichoke, and enough off of the bottom to form a nice base. Remove any especially tough outer leaves and discard them. Then use kitchen scissors to cut off the sharp tips of the leaves.
  • Using your hands, carefully pull the leaves away from the middle of the artichoke -- just enough so that you can see down to the choke. Now use a spoon to reach down and gently scrape away and discard all of the fuzz, to reveal a clean heart. (See above image.) This will take a bit of muscle, but must be done. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice inside and over each one.
  • Place the artichokes, stem-end up, in the steamer basket, cover, and steam until they are almost tender, about 35 minutes. (They'll finish cooking in the oven.) Check for doneness by pulling off an outer leaf - it should come off fairly easily. Set them aside to cool.
  • While the artichokes are steaming, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over low-medium heat. Let it simmer until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Pour in about ⅓ cup of lemon juice and the wine. Stir and let this simmer on low heat for about 4 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and parsley, stir to blend and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper (here's how), and set aside to cool.
  • Place the artichokes, sitting on their bases, in a baking dish.
  • Use a spoon and/or your hands to carefully fill the center of each artichoke with the stuffing -- fill it to maximum capacity! (If you think there's too much stuffing, don't worry just pack it in.) Then fill all of the spaces between the leaves as much as possible. Sprinkle the top of each one with 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan.
  • Place the stuffed artichokes in the preheated 375°F oven and bake until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cheese has melted, 15 to 20 minutes.

THE BEST STUFFED ARTICHOKES



The Best Stuffed Artichokes image

Stuffed artichokes were the "something special" on the table at all of my holiday gatherings and special occasions growing up. My grandmother would make them, and now the tradition has been passed on to the rest of the family. We would "fight" over the artichoke heart at the end. The filling is like a very moist dressing/stuffing you would have at Thanksgiving, but amped up with lots of garlic and cheese. The bottom of the artichoke leaves are tender and meaty with a subtle earthy, artichoke flavor. I like to dip the heart in a lemony mayo or butter at the end. Serve as a family-style appetizer or as part of a meal alongside a salad and grilled chicken.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large whole artichokes
1 lemon
1 ½ cups plain dry bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup olive oil
2 ½ cups water

Steps:

  • Cut top 1/4 of an artichoke off and discard. Trim off the top 1/2 inch from remaining leaves. Cut off bottom inch from stalk to create a flat bottom. Turn artichoke upside down and bang on surface to loosen the leaves. Zest 3/4 teaspoon of lemon zest from the lemon and set aside. Cut lemon in half and rub cut leaves and stem of artichoke with lemon. Repeat artichoke prep with remaining artichokes.
  • Combine reserved lemon zest with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and stir well.
  • Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly into all the artichoke leaves, avoiding the thistle leaves in the direct center. Work mixture evenly into each crevice of each artichoke until all of the mixture is used.
  • Pour water in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Add remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Set artichokes in the pot so that they are touching, so that they may remain upright during cooking. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the leaves release very easily, about 1 hour.
  • Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with more parsley if desired. Serve warm or room temperature.

ITALIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES

This recipe is a favorite originating from my Mother's large Italian family. It was her job growing up to clean, trim, and stuff the artichokes. My Mom taught me to make these when I was young. Someday when I have a daughter, I will teach her the same. From generation to generation, this recipe is a classic and continues to be a pleaser for all. My husband enjoys this recipe and appreciates the love behind it.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lemon, halved
6 whole artichokes
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Squeeze the lemon halves into a large bowl and fill the bowl with cold water. Trim the bottom off each artichoke. Trim off the tough outer leaves. Snip the thorny tips off the top leaves. As each one is completed, place it in the lemon water to prevent it from discoloring.

Place the artichokes snugly side by side in a large pan with a tight-fitting lid. Add 1 inch of water to the pot. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and steam until the bottoms of the artichokes are tender, 35 to 45 minutes; a knife should insert easily. Make sure the water doesn't boil dry. Add more water if necessary.
  • Serve each artichoke hot, on an individual plate.

ITALIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES



Italian Stuffed Artichokes image

"I can remember Mom making this special treat at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas," writes Emma Magielda from Amsterdam, New York. "We looked forward to it all year!" TIP: For easy eating, Emma suggests pulling leaves from the artichoke one at a time. Draw each through your teeth slowly, scraping and eating only the tender flesh at the base. Continue until you reach the central cone or heart of tender young leaves. Eat this with a fork.
