If you want to make stuffed artichokes Sicilian style, add 2 or 3 anchovies in oil and a handful of capers to the filling. For stuffed artichokes as they make them in Naples, replace the Parmigiano cheese with shredded provola cheese (sweet or smoked, depending on taste).
These Italian stuffed artichokes are made with simple pantry ingredients and result in the most comforting, crowd-pleasing side dish recipe. You know those recipes you make that immediately transport you to another time, perhaps another kitchen or another place?
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon zest, pepper and salt. Add olive oil; mix well. Gently spread artichoke leaves apart; fill with bread crumb mixture. Place in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until filling is lightly browned.
The artichokes are trimmed, stuffed and steamed for about 45 minutes. The recipe calls for 3 cloves of garlic per artichoke and lots of shaved parmesan slices – enough for one slice per leaf! With a chef’s knife, remove hard leaves at the base.
