Try stuffing your globe artichokes when they are in season with a mixture of ciabatta, garlic, parsley and Pecorino cheese. You can crisp them up under the grill before serving if you like.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

6 whole globe artichokes
3 slices ciabatta, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
handful chopped fresh parsley
50g (2 oz) grated Pecorino cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation method

1. Snip the pointed tips of artichoke leaves and cut off the stems. Wash and drain. Holding artichoke firmly by its base, firmly rap the top of it on a hard surface; this will open it so it can be stuffed.
2. In a medium bowl, combine bread, garlic, parsley, cheese, oregano, 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper; mix well.
3. Press about an equal amount of stuffing into each artichoke. Tightly pack stuffed artichokes together in a large heavy saucepan or casserole. Add enough water to reach half way up artichokes and add remaining oil.
4. Bring to the boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour, or until leaves pull out easily.

    There are many variations to this recipe and this is a good one. Be "generous" when stuffing, separating the leaves with your fingers. Stuff the centre as well as between the leaves. This takes patience. When simmering the artichokes make sure the globes all fit snuggly together in the saucepan. The key is to prevent them from toppling over so that you do not have a soggy mess. You want to steam them so that the breadcrumbs and cheeses meld together. TY for the recipe!! BTW, I used Italian herbs instead and dipped the leaves in olive oil upon partaking.

    Yum! I did prepare the artichokes slightly differently. I thought the stuffing would get really soggy by the time the artichoke was fully done so I blanched the artichokes for 20 minutes over medium heat, removed and drained off excess water then cut off the stem and tops and removed the choke (the prickly center, do not remove heart). Then I mixed the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stuffed each artichoke with mixture, spreading leaves to stuff. Arranged them in pan with about an inch of water, covered with foil and baked for 30 minutes at 220 degrees then uncovered and baked 10 minutes more. Serve with a slice of lemon and sprinkled with more cheese and parsley. I would definitely suggest using olive oil or even butter in the recipe not just plain vegetable oil.

    These were good. We normally just steam our artichokes and dip in garlic butter. My kids make a meal out of them. Hubby and kiddies loved this recipe, hence the reason I'm giving it four stars. Although I enjoyed eating them, I wasn't "head over heals" in love. The sauce I made consisted of butter a little olive oil and fresh garlic. I added flour to make a roux and then added chicken stock and black pepper. Thank you Michele for a very tasty starter!
