Grandma Dis Artichokes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Drain artichokes and cut each one in half. In bowl mix together artichokes, eggs, pepperoni,mozzarella cheese, salt , pepper and grated cheese. Pour into pie shell and bake @ 350 degrees for 45 minutes!

Steps:

• Cut stems off bottom of artichokes; peel and save. Pound bottom of each artichoke on table (not so hard that they squash) two or three times to open leaves. Cut off points of artichokes and snip side points with scissors.
• Cut garlic into a total of 20 pieces. Punch (with finger or end of wooden spoon) one piece of garlic down into center of each artichoke (You may have to separate the leaves a bit with your fingers) and three more pieces between outside leaves.
• Repeat with the parsley.
• Cut stems in two and stuff one down each center like garlic and parsley. If stems are too long, cut off part.
• Place artichokes in a pot so they gently touch the sides and each other. Be careful not to pour water into artiichokes; pour enough into pot to reach half way up the sides of the artichokes. Add three or four tablespoons olive oil, basil and oregano to water.
• Add an additional tablespoon of olive oil to center of each artichoke. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover pot and cook over high heat until boiling; reduce heat to simmer. Simmer 45 minutes to one hour until a center leaf removes easily. Do not overcook. Drain and reserve liquid.
• Serve at room temperature or chill overnight and bring to room temperature before serving.
