BACON STUFFED ARTICHOKES




Source of Recipe


Lisa M. Hibner


List of Ingredients




I fry and finely chop 1 lb. of bacon. I chop couple of toes of garlic. I mix in a bowl the bacon, garlic, Italian Bread Crumbs and parmesan and Romana cheese, lemon juice and olive oil. I cannot tell you exact ingredients because I don't think I measure. The mixture needs to be crumbly moist. I prepare the artichokes by clipping top part of leaves and pounding it on the counter to open it up a little bit. I stuff each leaf with mixture starting at the bottom. I steam them on stove in a pot with 1 to 2 inches of water. Lid on. (I recently found some artichoke steamer contraptions but have not used them yet.) I think they may be nice. One important thing, when steaming is to add lemon juice and olive oil to the water and drizzle on top of each artichoke. Steaming takes about 30-45 minutes. So keep adding water as needed.



Recipe
