ITALIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES



Italian Stuffed Artichokes image

This recipe is a favorite originating from my Mother's large Italian family. It was her job growing up to clean, trim, and stuff the artichokes. My Mom taught me to make these when I was young. Someday when I have a daughter, I will teach her the same. From generation to generation, this recipe is a classic and continues to be a pleaser for all. My husband enjoys this recipe and appreciates the love behind it.

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 artichokes, washed and dried
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
2 cups pulverized butter crackers
1 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Trim the stem of an artichoke so the base is flat and even. Trim the top inch off the artichoke and remove and discard any tough, woody outer leaves. Gently open up the leaves to get to the center. Using a spoon, scoop out the fuzzy choke in the center. Using scissors, trim off the sharp points of the large outer leaves. Rub and pour lemon juice all over the inside and outside (reserve half of the juice). Repeat with remaining artichokes.
  • Mix together pulverized crackers, Pecorino, olive oil, parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic, lemon zest and salt and pepper.
  • Pack each artichoke with the stuffing mixture, starting with the interior and working your way around between the outer leaves. Continue this process with the remaining artichokes. Place artichokes in an 8-inch square baking dish and add about 1 inch of chicken stock and the reserved lemon juice to the bottom of the dish. Cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake until leaves pull out easily and the meat at the bottom of the leaves is tender, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Preheat the broiler. Take off foil, drizzle the artichokes with olive oil and broil until tops are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve!

ITALIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES



Italian Stuffed Artichokes image

"I can remember Mom making this special treat at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas," writes Emma Magielda from Amsterdam, New York. "We looked forward to it all year!" TIP: For easy eating, Emma suggests pulling leaves from the artichoke one at a time. Draw each through your teeth slowly, scraping and eating only the tender flesh at the base. Continue until you reach the central cone or heart of tender young leaves. Eat this with a fork.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lemon, halved
6 whole artichokes
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

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.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES



Stuffed Artichokes image

These savory stuffed artichokes are a meal unto themselves. Or, serve as an appetizer or side dish to a lighter main.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 5

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 large globe artichokes
2 lemons, cut in half
4 large onions, (2 1/2 pounds), sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup nicoise olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 anchovy fillets, minced to a paste (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Trim artichokes; snap off tough outer leaves. Cut off about top third of artichoke. Snip any leaf tips remaining below the cut with scissors. Trim stem so artichoke will stand upright. Trim base. Spread leaves open to gain easier access to choke. Using a melon baller, scoop out choke. Squeeze some lemon juice directly onto heart; squeeze juice from lemons into bowl of ice water; add lemon halves and artichoke while preparing the rest.
  • In a 12-inch saute pan, cook onions and garlic in oil over medium heat, until tender and lightly caramelized, about 1 hour; let cool. Take two-thirds of onions, and coarsely chop; place in a bowl, and add bread crumbs, olives, parsley, anchovies, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper; mix well.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Drain artichokes upside down on a paper towel; gently open leaves. Fill centers of artichokes with mixture; place small amounts in crevices of leaves. Place a string around outside of artichoke; tie snugly. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
  • Strew remaining onions on bottom of large Dutch oven. Fit in artichokes; add stock to bottom of pan. Sprinkle each artichoke with Parmesan. Cover; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake until golden and crusty on top and hearts are tender when pierced, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Prepare the artichokes properly: Cut off the top 1/3 of the artichokes and remove the fuzzy choke from the center.
  • Stuff the artichokes generously: Don't be afraid to stuff the artichokes full of your favorite filling. The more filling, the better.
  • Cook the artichokes until tender: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender all the way through. This can take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Serve the artichokes with your favorite dipping sauce: Artichokes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as melted butter, olive oil, or lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Classic stuffed artichokes are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. They are relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create a stunning dish that will impress your guests.
