- 1 c. grated Romano cheese (4 ounces)
- 1 c. loosely packed chopped fresh parsley
- 6 med clv garlic -- chopped Salt Grnd black pepper
- 8 sm whole artichokes outer leaves removed, stems and tops trimmed, and chokes removed - (see Notes)
- 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 10 whl black peppercorns
- 2 x bay leaves
- 1 x lemon -- cut into 8 wedges
Directions
- TO PREPARE:For the stuffing, mix all ingredients including 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Spoon about 1/3 c. of this filling into the cavity of each artichoke.
- TO COOK AND SERVE:Arrange artichokes upright in a single layer in a nonreactive Dutch oven or possibly large, deep skillet. Drizzle each artichoke with 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Add in remaining ingredients, along with sufficient water to come 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the artichokes.
- Bring to simmer; cover and simmer till a small knife inserted into each stuffed artichoke easily pierces the bottom of the artichoke, 30 to 40 min.
- Carefully remove artichokes with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels. (Can be covered and set aside at room temperature up to 4 hrs.)
- Serve hot or possibly at room temperature.
- NOTES:As you trim the artichokes, rub all cut surfaces with lemon juice to prevent them from discoloring. To remove the choke or possibly fuzzy core protected by the artichoke leaves, place the trimmed artichoke, bottom side up, on a work surface. Gently lb. the artichoke bottom so which the artichoke leaves spread apart exposing the center of the artichoke. Then, use a small spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke, thus forming a small cavity in the center of the artichoke.
