Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze juice from two lemon halves into water. Cut off artichoke stems, peel them with a vegetable peeler, rub them all over with remaining lemon half (this prevents browning) and drop them into water.
- Use a heavy, sharp knife to cut top 1 1/2 inches off an artichoke. Pull out pale inner leaves from center. At the bottom, where leaves were, is a furry bed, the choke. Use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon works wonderfully) to scoop out choke. Next, using kitchen shears or a pair of scissors, trim pointy ends from outer leaves of artichoke. As you work, rub lemon half over cut parts of artichoke. When you are finished trimming, drop artichoke into bowl of lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
- To prepare stuffing, in a large bowl combine lemon zest, bread crumbs, Parmesan, chopped parsley and rosemary. Mince 6 garlic cloves and add to bowl. Finely chop one carrot and add to bowl along with capers, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss.
- In a small roasting pan or baking pan large enough to hold artichokes, scatter onion slices. Add reserved artichoke stems, 4 sprigs parsley and remaining garlic cloves. Slice remaining carrot into rounds and add to pan.
- Holding artichokes over stuffing bowl, stuff choke cavity and in between the leaves with bread crumb mixture. Stand stuffed artichokes upright in pan and generously drizzle olive oil over center of each artichoke.
- Fill pan with water until it reaches 1/4 way up the artichokes. Add wine and remaining salt and pepper to water. Cover pan with foil and poke several holes in foil. Bake artichokes for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender; when done, a knife should be easily inserted into artichoke and a leaf should be easily pulled out.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES
Steps:
- Cook's Note: Before starting this recipe be aware that there is a lot of waste involved in artichokes. It's ok. Just accept it and move on.
- Squeeze 1 lemon into a large bowl filled with water and place the lemon halves in the water.
- Cut off the pointy tops of the artichokes. Remove and reserve the stem of the artichoke. Peel off the tough green outer leaves and discard.
- Gently spread the leaves of the artichoke. Using a melon baller, scoop out the hairy "choke" in the center of the artichokes. When clean reserve them in the lemon water. Remove the tough outer skin on the stems and reserve them in the lemon water as well.
- In a small bowl combine the garlic, herbs, Parmesan, bread crumbs, crushed red pepper, pine nuts and anchovies, if using. Finely chop the reserved artichoke stems and add them to the bowl. Zest and juice the remaining lemon and add that 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 standing up in a saucepan large enough to accommodate them. Add the wine to the saucepan and enough lemon water to come 3/4 up the sides of the artichokes. Add the lemon halves to the pan also. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt.
- Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the base of the artichokes are tender when poked with a fork.
- Serve hot or room temperature drizzled with generous amount of olive oil.

Steps:
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon halves into a large pot of cold water; add the squeezed lemon halves and the whole garlic. Cut off the top quarter of each artichoke and discard. Use a small sharp knife to trim the stem of the artichokes. Starting at the base, bend the tough outer leaves back and snap off where they break naturally, leaving the tender inner leaves. Trim the outside of the base until no dark green areas remain. Cut the artichokes in half and then into quarters. Cut out the fibrous choke and small purple-tipped leaves. Submerge the artichoke quarters in the lemon water. Cover and boil until the artichokes are tender, about 45 minutes. Drain. Set the artichoke quarters aside to cool to room temperature.

THE BEST STUFFED ARTICHOKES
Stuffed artichokes were the "something special" on the table at all of my holiday gatherings and special occasions growing up. My grandmother would make them, and now the tradition has been passed on to the rest of the family. We would "fight" over the artichoke heart at the end. The filling is like a very moist dressing/stuffing you would have at Thanksgiving, but amped up with lots of garlic and cheese. The bottom of the artichoke leaves are tender and meaty with a subtle earthy, artichoke flavor. I like to dip the heart in a lemony mayo or butter at the end. Serve as a family-style appetizer or as part of a meal alongside a salad and grilled chicken.

Steps:
- Cut top 1/4 of an artichoke off and discard. Trim off the top 1/2 inch from remaining leaves. Cut off bottom inch from stalk to create a flat bottom. Turn artichoke upside down and bang on surface to loosen the leaves. Zest 3/4 teaspoon of lemon zest from the lemon and set aside. Cut lemon in half and rub cut leaves and stem of artichoke with lemon. Repeat artichoke prep with remaining artichokes.
- Combine reserved lemon zest with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and stir well.
- Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly into all the artichoke leaves, avoiding the thistle leaves in the direct center. Work mixture evenly into each crevice of each artichoke until all of the mixture is used.
- 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.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES
The key to success with this recipe is to look for deep-green artichokes that are heavy for their size with tightly shut leaves; artichokes are best cooked the same day they're bought. This recipe makes for a delicious appetizer or side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Zest one lemon; set zest aside. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze juice into a large bowl of water, add lemon rinds. Trim artichokes; working with one at a time, snap off tough outer bottom leaves. Cut off upper third of artichoke. Snip remaining leaf tips with scissors. Trim long stem, leaving a flat bottom. Peel stem and place in acidulated water. Gently spread artichoke leaves away from center, revealing choke. Remove choke with a spoon and discard. Place artichoke in acidulated water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
- In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmigiano and Pecorino cheeses, 4 tablespoons oil, parsley, oregano, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Remove artichoke stems from water, and drain well. Chop finely, and stir into breadcrumb mixture.
- Remove artichokes from water, and drain well. Fill each artichoke with 1/4 of breadcrumb mixture; spread leaves to allow stuffing to sit inside, and mound stuffing on top. Place 1/2 cup water in bottom of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish. Fit artichokes into baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake until heart is soft when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove foil; bake until breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Cut remaining lemon into wedges, and serve on the side.
RICE STUFFED ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON SAUCE
I adapted another stuffed artichoke (one that uses bread crumbs) by Giada De Laurentiis to make this recipe. Although there is an alternate microwave method included in this adopted recipe, I recommend using Giada's stovetop method.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot (a stock pot works well) with cold water; roll the lemon on the counter with your palm to "loosen" juices, then cut in half and squeeze the juice into the pot of water and toss in the squeezed lemon halves.

- Cut artichokes in quarters and remove the choke and small purple leaves.
- Add trimmed and quartered artichokes to the pot of water, cover, and simmer over medium heat until tender, about 45 minutes; drain and set aside to let cool.
- (Microwave method: cut off stems and loose outer leaves from artichoke. Cut of 1-inch from tops. Snip off sharp leaf tips. Brush cut edges with lemon juice. Place artichokes and water in a casserole. Cover with vented clear plastic wrap. Microwave, covered, on 100% power for 7 to 9 minutes or just till tender, rotating casserole a half-turn after 4 minutes. Let stand, covered, while preparing stuffing.)
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter; saute the green onion and carrot for 5 to 7 minutes, until vegetables begin to brown.

ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON ROSEMARY SAUCE
This is my favorite way to prepare fresh artichokes. It's terribly easy and perfectly delicious! Goes great with Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, especially Greek food. But equally tasty with many other foods.

Steps:
- Remove stems from artichokes and cut off the top third.
- Cut artichokes in half, lengthwise, and scrape out the woody"choke" (using a spoon or knife is good, but I like a tomato shark); trim away rough purple tips from inside.
- Remove the lower outermost leaves and trim the prickly part off the top of the remaining leaves.
- Rinse and drain artichokes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, and place artichokes cut-side-down in the pan.
- Add chicken broth and wine to the pan, then bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are fork-tender.
- While the artichokes are cooking, prepare the sauce.
- Heat the butter in a small saucepan and add the rosemary and cook until lightly fragrant.
- Add half the remaining chicken broth, and stir to mix.
- In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolks, lemon juice, cornstarch, and remaining chicken broth.
- Pour a slight amount of hot broth into the eggs to temper it, whisking well.
- Return egg yolk mixture to the saucepan, and whisk over low heat until sauce thickens, about 5-8 minutes.
- Serve the sauce over the cooked artichokes, or as a dipping sauce, whichever you prefer.
- To eat artichokes, remove leaves and run the leaf through your closed teeth, bottom end first, scraping off the flesh.
- When all the leaves are gone, the remaining heart is totally edible.

Tips:
- Choose the right artichokes: Look for artichokes that are a deep green color and have tightly closed leaves. Avoid artichokes that have brown or wilted leaves, as these are likely to be old and tough.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of the artichoke. Use a pair of kitchen shears to trim the sharp points off the leaves. Open the leaves slightly and remove any fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke.
- Stuff the artichokes generously: The stuffing should be packed tightly into the artichokes, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. This will help to keep the artichokes moist and flavorful.
- Cook the artichokes until they are tender: The artichokes should be cooked until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This will usually take about 30-45 minutes.
Conclusion:
Stuffed artichokes are a delicious and impressive dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. The combination of tender artichokes, flavorful stuffing, and tangy lemon-herb sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give stuffed artichokes a try. You won't be disappointed!
