Italian Stuffed Artichokes

Indulge in the exquisite flavors of Italian Stuffed Artichokes by Midway Market, a delightful springtime treat that will captivate your taste buds. This classic Italian dish showcases artichokes filled with a delectable mixture of seasoned breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. To prepare, begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. Carefully trim the top and stems of the artichokes, ensuring they can sit flat, and snip the tips off the leaves. Prevent browning by rubbing each artichoke with a quarter of a lemon. In a medium bowl, combine seasoned breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Gently spread the leaves apart, creating space to stuff the artichokes with the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it reaches between the leaves and covers the top. Arrange the stuffed artichokes upright in a small baking dish, adding about half an inch of water to the dish without touching the stuffing. For an optional touch, drizzle olive oil over the tops of the artichokes. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for one hour, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a golden finish. Delight in the harmonious blend of flavors and textures as you savor the Italian Stuffed Artichokes by Midway Market.
