VIDEO: How to Make Stuffed, Baked Artichokes

From Barbara Seelig-Brown, cookbook author and host of Stress Free Cooking on PBS-TV, Foodytv.tv

I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't love a stuffed artichoke!?? Since they come in different sizes, you can always halve them after baking if they are too large.

Ingredients

To Prepare Artichokes

  • 4 large or 6 medium fresh artichokes
  • Acidulated Water:
  • 2 lemons
  • Large bowl of water

To Prepare Stuffing

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parley
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • Few grinds freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Directions

  1. Prepare acidulated water by squeezing halved lemons into bowl of water to keep artichokes from browning (while cleaning).
  2. Clean artichokes. Using a Trimmer, cut stems from artichokes. Peel off any outer leaves and trim remaining leaves with kitchen shears (Super Shears). Gently open artichoke and remove fuzzy choke. A grapefruit spoon works well.
  3. Place each artichoke in acidulated water while cleaning remaining artichokes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  5. Place olive oil in large sauté pan. Add garlic and onion. Cook until garlic is fragrant. Add breadcrumbs, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook until breadcrumbs are toasted. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Turn heat off and add Parmigiano Reggiano.
  6. Stuff the center of the artichoke and gently pull/separate artichoke leaves to make room for additional stuffing.
  7. Place stuffed artichokes in baking dish. Drizzle with white wine or chicken stock. Bake until golden and fork tender, 30-45 minutes, depending on size of artichoke.
  8. Cook's Tip: To test for doneness, insert a fork into the heart (the bottom) of the artichoke. It should be tender.
