Carciofi Alla Romana Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Artichokes

   Trim the artichokes by cutting off the stems and removing the tough outer leaves. Cut the tops off the artichokes and rub the cut edges with lemon juice to prevent browning.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

   In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, chopped parsley, chopped mint, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

3. 3

   Stuff the Artichokes

   Gently open the leaves of each artichoke and stuff them with the bread crumb mixture. Make sure to pack the filling well between the leaves.

4. 4

   Cook the Artichokes

   Place the stuffed artichokes in a large pot with a lid. Drizzle with olive oil and add enough water to cover the bottom of the pot. Simmer on low heat for about 30-40 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the artichokes from the pot and let them cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
