Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Slice off all the crust on the Italian bread and shred the rest of the bread till it is fluffy. Add all the ingredients except the oil. Toss everything so it is mixed, then add the oil so it moistens the bread and the ingredients. Toss everything again and set aside.

Take each artichoke, cut off the stem, trim the tips, run under cold water, turn upside down and bang on your cutting board. This will let any sand loosen and fall out.

Now that you have trimmed all the tips you can spread the artchoke open and fill it with the stuffing you have made. Be sure to put some into the outer leaves.

I fill a 12 quart pot with about 4 inches of water and place a round cake cooling rack at the bottom of the pot. Place all 6 Ocean Mist artichokes on the rack, turn the stove on high, place the cover on the pot, once it starts boiling, lower the temperature to simmer. I say cooking time is about 1 1/4 hours, could be a little less or a little more, test by pulling a leaf to see how tender it is.
