Herb And Garlic Stuffed Artichokes Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Trim the stem off the artichoke to create a base and also one inch (2 ½ cm) from the top.
• Remove the leaves from the center of the artichoke and use a spoon to scrape out the hairs on the heart of the artichoke.
• Squeeze the juice of one small lemon on top.
• In a saucepan, boil two inches (5 cm) of salted water. Place the artichokes in the pot cover and boil for 20 minutes, or until tender.
• In a separate pan, melt the butter and saute the garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Squeeze in the juice of one lemon. Add in the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir until combined.
• Place the artichokes on a pan and fill with bread crumb mixture and top with grated parmesan.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve with dipping sauce of choice.
• Enjoy!

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.

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.

Steps:

• Start by giving your artichokes a quick wash Using a sharp knife, cut the stem off the bottom so the artichokes will stand up straight on their own Starting at the bottom, use a small pair of scissors to snip the tips off the leaves When you get to the top where the leaves are tighter together, pick up the artichoke by the bottom and bang the top on the counter to open it up more Steam until tender While steaming, mix your filling together - amounts/ingredients aren't particularly important, you just don't want it to be dry, as it will dry more in the oven When the artichokes are cool enough to handle, set them on your work surface and, starting again from the bottom, pull back each leaf and press in some of the filling, working your way around in circles until you reach the top When it's full, shave a little lemon zest over the top, then sprinkle some more cheese and give it a drizzle of olive oil Bake at 350 until the filling starts to brown, then sprinkle a little fresh chopped parsley or other herb of choice over the top for garnish

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze juice from two lemon halves into water. Cut off artichoke stems, peel them with a vegetable peeler, rub them all over with remaining lemon half (this prevents browning) and drop them into water.
• Use a heavy, sharp knife to cut top 1 1/2 inches off an artichoke. Pull out pale inner leaves from center. At the bottom, where leaves were, is a furry bed, the choke. Use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon works wonderfully) to scoop out choke. Next, using kitchen shears or a pair of scissors, trim pointy ends from outer leaves of artichoke. As you work, rub lemon half over cut parts of artichoke. When you are finished trimming, drop artichoke into bowl of lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• To prepare stuffing, in a large bowl combine lemon zest, bread crumbs, Parmesan, chopped parsley and rosemary. Mince 6 garlic cloves and add to bowl. Finely chop one carrot and add to bowl along with capers, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss.
• In a small roasting pan or baking pan large enough to hold artichokes, scatter onion slices. Add reserved artichoke stems, 4 sprigs parsley and remaining garlic cloves. Slice remaining carrot into rounds and add to pan.
• Holding artichokes over stuffing bowl, stuff choke cavity and in between the leaves with bread crumb mixture. Stand stuffed artichokes upright in pan and generously drizzle olive oil over center of each artichoke.
• Fill pan with water until it reaches 1/4 way up the artichokes. Add wine and remaining salt and pepper to water. Cover pan with foil and poke several holes in foil. Bake artichokes for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender; when done, a knife should be easily inserted into artichoke and a leaf should be easily pulled out.

Steps:

• Place artichokes and lemon slices in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Cover and simmer until artichokes are very tender when pierced through the stem with a metal skewer or the tip of a sharp paring knife, about 35 to 40 minutes; drain artichokes thoroughly. Pull the center inch of leaves out of each artichoke and then scrape out the choke (the fleshy-looking middle) with a teaspoon. Chop the base of the center leaves and set aside; throw out choke. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Sauté onion and garlic in oil in a large, nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, over medium heat until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in chopped leaves, lemon juice, bread crumbs, herbs and 1/2 cup of chicken broth; season to taste with salt and pepper. Press stuffing into center of artichokes and between remaining leaves. Set artichokes in an 8-inch square baking dish. Pour remaining chicken broth over and around artichokes, cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Yields 1 stuffed artichoke per serving.
