STUFFED ITALIAN ARTICHOKES
Anthony Dauro/Andrea Dauro
6-8 med. artichokes
¼ c. fresh parsley, chopped parsley sprigs (enough for all artichokes)
1-½ c. Romano cheese
4 cloves garlic, diced into slivers
1-½ c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Olive oil
Cut off stems of artichokes. Cut off ½ of the peak of the artichoke.
Turn the artichoke over and pound on table to loosen leaves. Turn upright again and
separate and open the leaves as much as possible. Take slivers of garlic, parsley sprigs
and Romano cheese and randomly place deep into the leaves of the artichokes. Mix together
bread crumbs, chopped parsley, egg and salt and pepper. Pour the bread crumb mixture
evenly over all artichokes and keep opening the leaves to help get the mixture deep into
leaves. Place the artichokes onto a large soup pan, put in enough water to come 1" below
the top of the artichokes. Pour 1-½ tbs. olive oil evenly over each artichoke. Bring to
a boil, cover, and then simmer approximately 45 minutes. Artichokes should be done when
the leaves are easily pulled off.
