Jewish-style Artichokes Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 medium artichokes
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cut off the top 1/2 inch of the artichoke and remove any small leaves at the base.
2. Boil the artichokes in a large pot of salted water for 20-25 minutes or until a leaf pulls out easily.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Drain the artichokes and let them cool down a bit. Then, spread open the leaves until you can access the center of the artichoke.
5. Remove the choke (the fuzzy part in the center) and spoon the breadcrumb mixture into the center of each artichoke and between each leaf.
6. Place the artichokes in a baking dish and bake in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve the Jewish-style artichokes hot with a side of lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
