Ingredients

Scale

To make Baked Stuffed Artichokes, gather the following ingredients:

  • 4 large fresh artichokes
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for a crunchier topping)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • ¼ cup pine nuts or chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Artichokes:

  1. Trim the Artichokes: Using a sharp knife, cut off the top third of each artichoke to expose the tender inner leaves. Trim the stems and remove any tough outer leaves.
  2. Remove the Choke: Use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke in the center of each artichoke, revealing the soft heart.
  3. Pre-cook the Artichokes: Place the artichokes in a large pot of boiling salted water, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the outer leaves pull away easily. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Stuffing:

  1. Mix the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and pine nuts (if using). Add the lemon juice and olive oil, and mix until the stuffing is well combined and moist.
  2. Stuff the Artichokes: Carefully separate the artichoke leaves and spoon the stuffing mixture between the leaves, pressing gently to pack it in. Make sure to stuff the center and the leaves evenly.

Bake the Stuffed Artichokes:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Arrange the Artichokes: Place the stuffed artichokes in a baking dish, and pour the vegetable broth or water around the base of the artichokes. This will help them steam and stay moist while baking.
  3. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the artichokes are golden brown and the stuffing is crispy.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the artichokes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
