Directions
- Wash the artichokes with cold water and clip off a little bit of the tips of the artichokes(throw them away) and remove the stems of the artichokes and set aside.
- Put the following items in a large bowl: chop meat, breadcrumbs, grated cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, water and the 3 eggs. Mix all of these items with your hands until blended together.
- Turn the artichokes upside down and hit them on the counter. This will open up the artichokes to fill them with the stuffing. Remove some of the inside leaves.
- On the inside bottom of the artichokes place a slice of garlic and dizzle a bit of EVOO.
- Then take a handfull of stuffing and push it inside the artichokes until full. Then place another slice of garlic on top of it.
- In-between the artichokes leaves put a slice of garlic.
- Repeat the same as above with the rest of the artichokes.
- When all the artichokes are stuffed, place them in the pot and add the water on the sides of the artichokes NOT on top.
- Then dizzles some EVOO on top of the artichokes.
- Cover the pot and cook on medium heat until it starts to boil and then lower the heat for about 30-45 minutes. Check the stuffing and make sure it is cooked.
- Remove and serve.
