• 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.

CHEESE AND HERB STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Wash, trim, and remove choke from artichokes.
• Rub down artichokes with 1/2 fresh lemon juice. Be sure to rub over the leaves and squeeze juice inside of artichoke leaves and heart.
• Mix together pork rinds, garlic powder, basil, oregano, thyme, and salt. Remove about 1/2 cup of filling and set aside.
• Push the remaining filling in between each artichoke leave and in the center where the heart is. You don't need a lot in between the leaves and if you don't get in between each leaf it's not a big deal, as long as your're dividing the 1 cup of filling evenly between each artichoke.
• In your stock pot, add water until it reaches almost the top of the steamer rack.
• Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon into the water and drop the lemon halves in the water also.
• Place the artichokes in the pot on top of the steamer, top side up.
• Cover with a lid to trap the heat/steam. Bring the water to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer to continue cooking for at least 45 minutes.
• Once the artichokes are steamed, a leaf should be able to be removed easily by slightly tugging with a pair of tongs.
• When they are ready, remove the artichokes and place them on a cookie sheet.
• Mix the last 1/2 cup of pork rind mixture with the mayonnaise. Divide the mixture between both artichokes, placing it on top of the artichoke and tapping slightly to compact it.
• Broil in oven under hot broiler until topping is browned and bubbly.
• Remove from oven and let sit 5-10 minutes before consuming.

BAKED ARTICHOKES WITH GORGONZOLA AND HERBS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Trim the artichokes by cutting off the top 1-inch or so. Cut the stem close to the base of the artichoke so the artichoke can sit up straight, and remove some of the bottom leaves. Using kitchen shears, trim the sharp points off of any remaining outer leaves. Add the artichokes to the boiling water. Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into the boiling water. Toss in the lemons. Cook the artichokes until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the artichokes and let cool.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together the Gorgonzola, cream, thyme, 2 teaspoons parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. In another small bowl stir together the bread crumbs and remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the center choke of the artichokes using a small spoon. Stuff the cheese mixture into the center of the artichokes. Place the artichokes into a baking dish. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the artichokes. Drizzle the tops of the artichokes with olive oil. Bake until the artichokes are heated through, the cheese is melted, and the bread crumbs are crisp and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to a serving dish and serve.

FRESH HERB AND CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• If you plan to serve this with pasta, put your pasta on to cook now. This sauce would also complement certain meats, chicken, for instance.
• Peel and finely chop onion.
• Melt the butter, fry the onion, stir in the flour and fry until golden.
• Gradually add the stock, and bring the sauce to the boil, stirring constantly.
• Add the wine and sour cream and allow to simmer on low heat.
• Season the sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Add the Mozzarella cheese cubes to the sauce and allow to melt over low heat.
• Stir the chopped chervil (or herb of choice) into the sauce.
• Beat the egg yolk with 2 tblsps of sauce, then blend into the rest of the sauce.
• Add cooked pasta of choice (recipe suggestion, tortellini, although I used the homemade gnocchi mentioned above).

GARLIC HERB CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine the cheese spread, cream cheese, and 1/2 package of Parmesan cheese in a bowl until well blended; cover and refrigerate.
• Place the olive oil in a bowl. Dip each mushroom in the oil, covering entirely. Place the mushroom face down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover mushrooms with another sheet of parchment paper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow mushroom to cool slightly. Line the baking sheet with a clean sheet of parchment paper. Over-stuff each mushroom cap with the prepared cheese mixture and arrange on the baking sheet.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven, and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 12 minutes more. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 package Parmesan cheese before serving.
