artichoke recipe

What you need:

3-4 large artichokes

1 cup of homemade breadcrumbs

1/4-1/2 ground beef

Handful of black or green olives, chopped finely

2 tablespoons grated Pecorino cheese

2-3 pieces of  garlic, minced

Handful of parsley, chopped

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon chopped capers

Red pepper flakes

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Process: Start by sautéing the ground beef in a medium-sized frying pan, adding plenty of Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (and leaving the mixture to cool after 10-12 minutes of cooking) Next, in a big bowl combine the baked and seasoning, bread crumbs, aged Pecorino cheese, cooled ground beef mixture, garlic, capers, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, red pepper flakes.

Next, extract 2/3 of the top leaves (this is the actual edible part); split into half or thirds, depending on the recipe. Next, it would be appropriate to eliminate the inner hair (it is vital to extract the hairs as they tend to choke people!). You will scrape out the inner hair using a pairing knife or a flat spoon.

First, take the stuffing and put the mixture carefully in the middle of the artichokes with a spoon (fill it with as much stuffing as possible). Then, put the artichokes in a baking dish and apply enough water to the platter to cover the lower half of the artichokes. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 50-60 minutes in a 375 degrees Fahrenheit oven.
