BAKED STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut the stalks off the artichokes. Trim the outer leaves and slice an inch off the top. With a pair of scissors, trim the remaining tips from the leaves. When you have prepared the artichokes, put them in water to cover with the juice of one of the lemons so that they do not turn brown.
• Cook the artichokes in salted boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain them upside down in a collander and remove the bristly choke.
• Meanwhile, heat four tablespoons of the olive oil and cook the garlic and onion until soft. Mix with the bread crumbs, vinegar, mint and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stuff the centers of the artichokes with about two tablespoons of the mixture and press the rest between the outer leaves. Place artichokes in the baking dish and pour in an inch of boiling water. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining oil and lemon juice. Serve hot or cold.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, anchovy, chile flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large bowl. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon into the bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lemon in a small bowl with the oil, then drizzle the lemon juice mixture into the breadcrumb mixture and mix with a fork until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Stir in the Parmesan and set aside until ready to use.
• Fill a large bowl with ice water. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon and drop in the lemon halves. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, cut off all but 1/2-inch of the stem. Use a serrated knife to slice about 1 inch off of the top. Use kitchen shears to trim the point off each leaf, removing 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use your fingers to gently pull open the center leaves of the artichoke then use a spoon to scoop out and discard the fuzzy choke in the middle. (Note that removing the choke takes some effort and will make eating the final product much more enjoyable.) Submerge the cleaned artichoke in the lemon water to prevent browning and repeat with the remaining artichokes.
• Working with one artichoke at a time, remove from the water and use a clean kitchen towel to pat dry. Gently pull apart the leaves on each layer and stuff with the breadcrumbs over the bowl to avoid a mess, pressing lightly as you stuff (you will use about 2/3 cup stuffing per artichoke). Gently set the stuffed artichoke in a 9-by-9-inch casserole dish (do not use glass) or a large cast-iron skillet, standing it up on the flat stem if possible, or gently resting on the side if not. Note that you will want the artichokes to be snug in the dish to remain upright during baking. Repeat with the remaining artichokes and breadcrumbs.
• Pour the wine and 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the pan. Slice the remaining lemon into rounds and nestle them into the liquid. Tightly cover the dish with foil and bake until the artichokes leaves are tender and can be easily pulled off, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and increase the temperature to 500 degrees F.
• Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the artichokes from the dish with tongs and place onto a serving plate. Serve with the cooking liquid lemon slices.

• Add the sausage, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, parsley, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Add the stuffing to a bowl and stir in the pine nuts.
• Prepare the artichokes by trimming the stems from the artichoke, cutting it flat so that the artichoke can sit straight in the pot.
• Next cut the top third off of the top of the artichoke, cutting straight across.
• Open the artichoke up using your fingers and pull out the center as much as you can so there is room for the stuffing. You can use a spoon to scrape most of the chokes out.
• Divide the stuffing into 6 equal parts and start stuffing the artichokes. Add a portion the center of each artichoke and then add the rest to the outside parts of the leaves.
• Place the artichokes into a dutch oven large enough to hold all the artichokes in a single layer, use two pots if you don't have one big enough.
• Now add 1 part white wine to 3 parts water, filling the pot so the liquid comes up only halfway up the artichokes. If you are using a smaller pot you might only need 1/2 cup of wine to 1 1/2 parts water.
• Season the artichokes with more salt and pepper on top and then sprinkle on the remaining 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese.
• Drizzle the artichokes with olive oil and add the bay leaves to the cooking liquid.

THE ULTIMATE STUFFED ARTICHOKE RECIPE

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.
• I like serving these whole for sharing.

STUFFED BAKED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Wash the artichokes thoroughly in a bowl of lukewarm water. Be sure to remove any visible dirt or debris.
• Drain the artichokes upside down on a dishcloth to remove excess water.
• Meanwhile, fill a large stainless steel, glass or enamelware pot with water and set over medium-high heat. Avoid using iron or aluminum pots, as they can discolour the artichokes and change the flavour.
• Grate the zest off the lemon and set aside for later. Cut off a piece of lemon to use as you prepare the artichokes.
• Using a sharp knife, cut off the stems of the artichoke to create a flat base. Rub the cut side with the lemon to prevent browning.
• Then cut off about 1/4 off the top of each artichoke. Again, rub the cut part with the piece of lemon.
• Cut the spiky tips off the leaves with a pair of kitchen shears, and continue rubbing with the lemon as you work.
• Once the water is boiling, place the prepared artichokes in the pot and cook for 20 minutes.
• While the artichokes are boiling, add the Panko, shallot, garlic, cheese and seasonings to a food processor. Pulse the mixture until everything is well combined, then slowly add in 2 tbsp. of melted butter. This will be the stuffing for the artichokes.
• Drain the cooked artichokes, and allow to cool on a dishtowel to remove excess water.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (205ºC)
• Once the artichokes are cool enough to handle, open the leaves apart to reveal the pale leaves in the middle. Use your fingers to twist and pull those leaves out of the middle of the artichoke. You should now see the purple choke.
• Use a spoon to carefully scrape the choke out of each artichoke. You want to be careful not to break off the outer leaves in the process.
• Once the chokes have been removed and discarded, place the artichokes in a baking dish.
• Spoon in some stuffing into the center of each artichoke, then carefully add stuffing in between the leaves - working from the inside to the outside. The outer leaves are the most tough, so it's best not to put too much stuffing into those leaves.
• Bake the artichokes for 15-20 minutes, or until the stuffing has warmed through. If desired, you can broil the artichokes for a minute or two to brown the tops.
• Drizzle with the reserved 2 tbsp of butter, and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
• To eat, pull off an outer leaf, put the base of the leaf in your mouth, and use your teeth to scrape off the stuffing and edible portion of the leaf. Repeat with each leaf, working towards the inside of the artichoke. You cannot eat the entire leaf - it is too fibrous.
• When you have removed all of the leaves, you will be left with the heart of the artichoke. You can easily eat this with a knife and fork, since the choke was already removed earlier.

WHOLE STUFFED ARTICHOKES BRAISED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Make stuffing:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spread bread crumbs in a shallow baking pan and bake in middle of oven until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Cool crumbs completely, then toss with parmesan, garlic, parsley, soppressata, zest if using, salt, and pepper. Drizzle oil over crumbs and toss to coat evenly.
• Trim and stuff artichokes:
• Cut off artichoke stems and discard. Cut off top 1/2 inch of 1 artichoke with a serrated knife, then cut about 1/2 inch off all remaining leaf tips with kitchen shears. Rub cut leaves with a lemon half.
• Separate leaves slightly with your thumbs and pull out purple leaves from center and enough yellow leaves to expose fuzzy choke. Scoop out choke with melon-ball cutter, then squeeze some lemon juice into cavity.
• Trim remaining artichokes in same manner.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons stuffing into cavity of each artichoke and, starting with bottom leaves and spreading leaves open as much as possible without breaking, spoon a rounded 1/2 teaspoon stuffing inside each leaf. Top each artichoke with a slice of provolone.
• Cook artichokes:
• Put water, wine, oil, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in pressure cooker (without insert) or pot and arrange stuffed artichokes in liquid in 1 layer.
• Seal pressure cooker with lid and cook at high pressure, according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 minutes. Put pressure cooker in sink (do not remove lid) and run cold water over lid until pressure goes down completely.
• If using a regular pot, simmer artichokes, covered, until leaves are tender, about 50 minutes.
• Transfer artichokes with tongs to 4 soup plates and spoon cooking liquid around them.
