INGREDIENTS Artichokes 2 artichokes 1 lemon, juiced Salt, to taste
Stuffing ¼ cup butter 3 tablespoons garlic 1 lemon, juiced 2 cups bread crumbs ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper ¼ cup parsley Grated parmesan, for topping Mayonnaise or butter, for dipping
PREPARATION Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Trim the stem off the artichoke to create a base and also one inch 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 of salted water. Place the artichokes in the pot cover and boil for 20 minutes, or until tender. In a pan, melt the butter and saute the garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and stir. 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 of choice and enjoy!
