Over the last few years, the Lexington Co-op has offered our readers a number of delicious recipes made from whole ingredients. Today Lexington’s talented chef, Jamie Zynda, is sharing her grandmother’s recipe for stuffed artichokes. This is the season of the artichoke, though they are generally available in supermarkets year round. As our markets and produce stands around the city begin to display the bounty of the new season, BR will continue to provide you with new recipes. If you have one you’d like to share, please contact us at YUM!
Grandma M’s Italian Artichokes
by Jamie Zynda, Lexi’s Chef
Ingredients:
6-8 large artichokes with sharp tips cut off and stems removed – 3 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock) – 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese grated – 1/4 cup Asiago cheese grated – 1/2 cup Parmesean cheese grated – 1 bunch fresh basil, chiffonade – 1 bunch fresh Italian parsley, chopped – 2/3 cup fresh garlic, minced – 1/4 cup dried oregano – olive oil – salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Stuff the artichokes with half of the cheeses, basil, parsley, garlic and oregano. Be sure to fill each leaf with the ingredients. Tightly pack the stuffed artichokes (standing up on the stem end) together in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven. Drizzle each artichoke with oil and add chicken stock to the pot. Over the course of 30 minutes, gradually add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer over medium heat for one to three hours or until tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with grated cheese ENJOY!
