STUFFED ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Pull out the center of the artichoke with your fingers to form a cup, and then slice a bit off the bottom to make a flat surface so the cups sit upright. Repeat with remaining artichokes. The artichoke centers can be used in a salad or omelet.
• In a large bowl, toss together the scallions, cabbage, and carrots. Add the dressing, taste, and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary. Fill the artichoke cups with the slaw, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve.

Steps:

• Mix 3 cups breadcrumbs, 3 grated garlic cloves, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 cup each grated parmesan, pecorino, chopped parsley and olive oil in a bowl. Trim 4 large artichokes (see Cook's Note), removing the stems. Separate the leaves; stuff the crumb mixture between each.

Drizzle with olive oil and some of the cooking liquid.

STUFFED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Grate 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and set aside. Quarter the lemon and squeeze the juice into a medium bowl of water; add the squeezed lemon quarters. One at a time, cut off the top one-quarter of each artichoke; pull off the tough outer leaves (there will be several layers). Using a paring knife, trim the stem and lightly peel around the bottom of the base where it meets the stem. Halve the artichokes lengthwise and add to the lemon water.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain the artichokes, pat dry and place cut-side down in the skillet; add the lemon quarters. Add the 2 smashed garlic cloves and a generous pinch of salt. Cook until the artichokes soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, then add 1 cup water. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the artichokes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover and remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the reserved lemon zest and the grated garlic and cook, stirring constantly, about 20 seconds. Add the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
• Transfer the artichokes cut-side up to a platter and season lightly with salt. Top with the breadcrumb mixture and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Squeeze the lemons into a large bowl filled with water. Place the lemon halves in the water.
• Cut off the pointy tops of the artichoke. Remove some of the tough outer leaves. Remove the stem of the artichoke and peel off the tough green outer layer and reserve in the lemon water.
• Gently spread the leaves of the artichoke. Using a melon baller, scoop out the hairy choke in the center of the artichoke. When the arties are clean reserve them in the lemon water.
• In a small bowl combine the garlic, herbs, pecorino, bread crumbs, and crushed red pepper. Finely chop the reserved artichoke stems and add them to the bowl. Slowly drizzle in olive oil until the mixture forms a paste. Season with salt.
• Stuff the artichokes with the paste.
• Place the artichokes, flat side down, in a saucepan large enough to accommodate them.
• Add the wine to the saucepan and enough lemon water to come 3/4 way up the sides of the artichokes. Add the lemon halves to pan also. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt.
• Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the base of the artichokes are tender when poked with a fork.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the stems from the artichokes to leave a neat, flat base. Lay each artichoke on its side, and cut away the upper third with a sharp knife. With kitchen shears, remove the prickly leaf tips from each remaining leaf. Rub the cut sides and bottom with a lemon slice, squeezing lemon juice onto the cut areas and set aside.
• Place the prepared artichokes, lemon slices, crab boil and bay leaves in the boiling water and simmer, partially covered, until the bottom is tender and can be pierced with a sharp knife and an outer leaf pulls out easily, about 25 minutes.
• Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
• To the onion pan, add the garlic and oregano and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs, lemon zest, Parmesan, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Mix well and adjust seasonings with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Drain the artichokes upside down in a colander.
• When the artichokes are cool enough to handle, press the leaves gently back so that the artichoke opens to reveal the inner choke and prickly leaves. Pull out the cone of undeveloped white leaves and gently scrape out the choke with a spoon so as not to damage the heart. Gently pull the leaves outward from the center until the leaves open slightly.
• Fill the artichoke cavities with bread stuffing, and pack a little bit into the space between the leaves.
• Place the artichokes in an earthenware baking dish and drizzle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the dish and place in oven. Bake until the artichokes are golden brown and the bread crumbs develop a nice crust, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle some grated Parmesan. Serve with additional lemon wedges.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES

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.
• In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, and parsley and season with pepper. Pull each leaf open slightly from each artichoke and stuff a little filling into the opening. 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.

• Carefully spread the center leaves of each artichoke open enough to expose the thistle-like choke.
• With a spoon, scoop and scrape the choke out, leaving the edible artichoke bottom intact.
• The artichoke should retain its shape with a hole in the center for the filling.
• Toss the shrimp with the parsley, dill or tarragon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
• Blend the oil and mayonnaise together, add to the shrimp mixture and toss to combine.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and additional lemon juice if necessary.
• Fill the artichokes with the mixture and serve.
