An Easy Stuffed Artichoke Recipe
We love all kinds of artichoke recipes – for appetizers like these Fried Artichoke Hearts or for dinner like in this Skillet Shrimp and Artichoke Pasta.
Get a few simple ingredients together…cheese, garlic, wine, breadcrumbs and of course, the artichokes.
The best part in my opinion about these Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Artichokes is obviously the cheese. So get in there and stuff as much cheese and the garlic into the center of each artichoke, as much as you like – and we like a lot.
You can cut back on the cheese if you want to keep this stuffed artichoke recipe on the lighter side. Or if you’re following a low carb diet you can eliminate the bread crumbs and it’s still going to taste amazing.
Simple, easy ingredients cooked over low heat to make the most amazing flavor combination ever.
This artichoke recipe is so versatile that we even make one artichoke without the cheese for my older son. He doesn’t like melted cheese.
We don’t think he belongs to us, but it’s still really delicious.
How to Cook Artichokes
Get in there and pull apart the artichoke leaves so there’s plenty of room for stuffing. I know there are a lot of recipes that call for scraping out the choke first, but you really don’t have to.
Once the artichokes are steamed you can easily cut it off the heart if you’re going to eat it.
After you get all the cheese and garlic stuffed inside your artichokes, get them in a pot and fill it up about half way with water. Add wine and a bay leaf, cover and cook for an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the size of your artichokes.
You’ll know when they’re done when you can pull a leaf out easily. Taste it and make sure it’s nice and tender…Then get ready to be amazed.
Top with crispy, buttery breadcrumbs – just a little – and then serve.
This stuffed artichoke recipe is so good, I bet you’ll be making them one of your family traditions too! Our kids love pulling the leaves one by one and getting all that cheese and garlic and delicious steamed artichoke flavor.
