Total Preparation Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Ingredients: Vegetables
Actual Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Number of Servings: 4
Origin: American
Meal Type: Appetizers
Ingredients
4 Medium artichokes (about 12 oz each)
2 oz Croutons
2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup + 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Fresh chopped parsley
2 cloves Garlic, minced
Preparation
With large stainless-steel knife, cut off stem end of each artichoke flush with base so that artichokes will stand upright; remove and discard center leaves and choke. With scissors, trim 1" from the top of each leaf. In blender, grind croutons into coarse crumbs.
Preheat oven to 400F.
In medium bowl, combine crouton crumbs, 1/2 cup of broth, 2 Tbsp of lemon juice, parsley and garlic; stir to mix well. Spoon one-fourth of the bread mixture into the heart of each artichoke.
In large nonstick skillet, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups broth and the remaining 1/4 cup juice; bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Arrange stuffed artichokes upright in skillet; cover with foil. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until artichokes are tender.
To serve, spoon pan juices evenly over each artichoke.
