anyone have a good artichoke recipe?

Question

Im looking for a good recipe but nothing more than just the artichoke... like maybe stuffed or something. Its for dinner tonight with the hub :) Thanks

Answer 1

Clean and trim the tips of the artichokes and cut the bottom so that they stand flat without going through to the inside.

spread out the leaves and scoop out the chokes with a spoon.

Fill them with Italian seasoned breadcrumb mixed with a little egg and some milk or water to moisten, Italian cheese and some olive oil. (or however you make your wet stuffing for like, a turkey or mushroom cap?) Just make it Italian... I like to add panchetta or prosciutto too... That gives it an extra kick.

Stuff them all around the outside leaves and into the core of the choke...

Put them in a baking dish with a little water in the bottom for steaming and cook at about 325 to 350 until they get soft and the breadcrumb starts to brown and the cheese bubbles a little.

I like to serve them with fresh Cavatelli in Brown butter with garlic and bread crumbs.

Answer 2

This isn't really a recipe, but it's how I prepare artichokes in the summer (when I'm having a BBQ) and it's sooo good. It gives them a nice smoky flavor and can be done with baby or full size artichokes... I steam them in water or white wine with some cut-up lemons, whole peppercorns, and lots of garlic cloves. Just before they're done (when you can pull of a leaf with little resistance) drain and let them cool to where you can handle them. Cut them in half, scoop out the "choke" and place them cut side down in a dish with a good balsamic vinegar and some minced garlic for about 10 minutes. Throw them cut side down on the grill (the amount of time will depend on the size of the flame and the choke, but you want to slightly char, not burn them). While they're grilling, reduce the vinegar/garlic mixture on the stove and drizzle on the finished chokes.

Answer 5

Tired of constantly being broke, and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife (with himself as the beneficiary), and arranging to have her killed.

A "friend of a friend" put him in touch with a nefarious underworld
figure, who went by the name of "Artie." Artie explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000.

The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he
wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's
insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid SOMETHING up front. The man opened up his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside.

Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, and reluctantly agreed to accept the
dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.

A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local
Safeway grocery store. There, he surprised her in the produce
department, and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands.

As the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath, and slumped to the floor, the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the scene. Unwilling to leave any witnesses behind, Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.

Unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by hidden cameras and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could leave the store.

Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed
the sordid plan, including his financial arrangements with the
hapless husband.

And that is why, the next day in the newspaper, the headline
said, "ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A DOLLAR AT SAFEWAY."
