Ingredients
  

For the Artichokes
  • 4 Fresh artichokes Choose firm, vibrant green artichokes for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice A splash will help prevent browning and add a zesty kick.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Use fresh breadcrumbs for a light and fluffy stuffing.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Grated Parmesan adds a savory depth.
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves Minced garlic infuses the filling with aromatic goodness.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Chopped parsley brightens up the flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes Add a pinch for a hint of heat.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Drizzle over the artichokes to enhance their taste.
  • 2 cups Vegetable broth Use this as a steaming liquid.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the artichokes under cold water, then trim their tops and cut off the stems.
  2. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.
  3. Gently pull apart the leaves of each artichoke and spoon the filling into each leaf.
  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the stuffed artichokes, then drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Place the stuffed artichokes in a pot with water or broth, cover, and steam for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
