The Ingredients
4 artichokes
1/2 stick of unsalted butter
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1bunch of parsley
3 cloves of garlic (smoked)
2 tbsp panko bread crumbs
1/2 lemon
salt
pepper
First, clean the artichokes thoroughly under cold water. Scrub the outside a bit with a small brush. Cut off about one inch from the top and trim the outside leaves if there are thorns (they are spiky, so be careful!). This also depends on the type of artichoke- mine weren't too bad, so I only had to do minimal trimming.
Rub lemon all over the outside of the artichoke to add flavor and to prevent it from oxidizing and turning brown while getting prepped.
Chop up the cloves of garlic. Whole Foods had just gotten some gorgeous smoked garlic from Arleux, so I had to buy some! Spread out the petals a bit to put in the parsley, parmesan cheese, and garlic. Top with salt, pepper, and some lemon juice from the remaining lemon.
In a pan, melt half a stick of butter. Pour this into/all over each artichoke, then top with break crumbs. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Enjoy!
I lined the baking pan with foil to let them sit up straight.
A close-up for the cheesiness.
Final product!
