Report
A wonderful way to stuff artichokes. Can be served as a large appetizer or even a main course.

Ingredients
- 4 artichokes large, tops cut off, and each leaf tip snipped; stem removed (reserve)
- ½ onion large, finely chopped
- 4 oz mushrooms diced
- ½ red pepper or a combination of red and green or yellow diced into small pieces
- stems from the artichokes peeled and diced
- ⅓ cup black olives diced
- 4 tbsp olive oil extra virgin (half in filling, half used to cook)
- 8 oz breadcrumbs fresh or slightly dry
- 2 tbsp white wine
- salt and pepper
- 7 oz water 6-8 oz, depending
- 2 cloves garlic or more, smashed
- ½ tsp kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- First, wash the artichokes and remove the fuzzy choke inside. (TIP: I discovered that a grapefruit spoon works perfectly!) If you've never done this before, it's super easy: just put both thumbs inside and push toward the outside to make room in the center, then scoop out the fuzzy center!
- Next, saute the onion in about 2 tbsp olive oil for about 3 minutes, then add the mushrooms, peppers, and artichoke stems and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Add the olives, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Now add the breadcrumbs and some white wine to make a moist stuffing.
- Fill each artichoke with the stuffing, gently pushing down until full. If you have any leftover stuffing, push it in between the outer leaves.
- Place the water, the leftover 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic and salt in a pot which can accommodate all four artichokes, then place the artichokes upright in the pot and cover.
- Turn burner on to medium high heat until the water comes to a boil, then turn down, and simmer/steam (make sure to add water if too much evaporates) for 45 minutes to an hour or until artichokes are tender.
- Check by pulling a leaf, and if it comes out easily, it's ready. Serve on its own or as a side dish; just delicious!
Notes
- Omit the mushrooms or olives if you don't like them.
