Title: Stuffed Artichokes Italian Style
Categories: Appetizers, Ethnic, Italian
Yield: 6 Servings

6 Med artichokes
1 1/2 c Soft Italian bread, grated
1/4 c Fresh parsley
1/2 c Grated Romano cheese
Salt and pepper
1 Clove garlic chopped
Olive oil
Salt and more garlic

Soak 6 med. artichokes in cold water 1/2 hour. Stand on counter and trim
points off leaves with scissors and cut off bottoms so they will be flat to
sit in pan. Then, standing artichokes upside down, give them a firm whack
so that leaves will open slightly to put stuffing in. Combine all
ingredients with enough oil to moisten bread mixture. Stuff inside of
leaves. Place stuffed artichokes in a pan of water ( about 1 1/4 cups water
) to which 1 tsp salt and 3 crushed garlic cloves have been added. Sprinkle
more oil over artichokes and simmer slowly for 45 minutes or tender.
