THE BEST STUFFED ARTICHOKES
Stuffed artichokes were the "something special" on the table at all of my holiday gatherings and special occasions growing up. My grandmother would make them, and now the tradition has been passed on to the rest of the family. We would "fight" over the artichoke heart at the end. The filling is like a very moist dressing/stuffing you would have at Thanksgiving, but amped up with lots of garlic and cheese. The bottom of the artichoke leaves are tender and meaty with a subtle earthy, artichoke flavor. I like to dip the heart in a lemony mayo or butter at the end. Serve as a family-style appetizer or as part of a meal alongside a salad and grilled chicken.

Steps:
- Cut top 1/4 of an artichoke off and discard. Trim off the top 1/2 inch from remaining leaves. Cut off bottom inch from stalk to create a flat bottom. Turn artichoke upside down and bang on surface to loosen the leaves. Zest 3/4 teaspoon of lemon zest from the lemon and set aside. Cut lemon in half and rub cut leaves and stem of artichoke with lemon. Repeat artichoke prep with remaining artichokes.
- Combine reserved lemon zest with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and stir well.
- Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly into all the artichoke leaves, avoiding the thistle leaves in the direct center. Work mixture evenly into each crevice of each artichoke until all of the mixture is used.
- Pour water in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Add remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Set artichokes in the pot so that they are touching, so that they may remain upright during cooking. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the leaves release very easily, about 1 hour.
- Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with more parsley if desired. Serve warm or room temperature.

STUFFED ARTICHOKES
Don't be intimidated! Cleaning and prepping artichokes is easier than you may think (and worth it). Plus, this filling may be one of the most delicious you've ever had in your life. I'm so excited to share it with you.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Add the breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, anchovy, chile flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large bowl. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon into the bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lemon in a small bowl with the oil, then drizzle the lemon juice mixture into the breadcrumb mixture and mix with a fork until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Stir in the Parmesan and set aside until ready to use.
- Fill a large bowl with ice water. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon and drop in the lemon halves. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, cut off all but 1/2-inch of the stem. Use a serrated knife to slice about 1 inch off of the top. Use kitchen shears to trim the point off each leaf, removing 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use your fingers to gently pull open the center leaves of the artichoke then use a spoon to scoop out and discard the fuzzy choke in the middle. (Note that removing the choke takes some effort and will make eating the final product much more enjoyable.) Submerge the cleaned artichoke in the lemon water to prevent browning and repeat with the remaining artichokes.
- Working with one artichoke at a time, remove from the water and use a clean kitchen towel to pat dry. Gently pull apart the leaves on each layer and stuff with the breadcrumbs over the bowl to avoid a mess, pressing lightly as you stuff (you will use about 2/3 cup stuffing per artichoke). Gently set the stuffed artichoke in a 9-by-9-inch casserole dish (do not use glass) or a large cast-iron skillet, standing it up on the flat stem if possible, or gently resting on the side if not. Note that you will want the artichokes to be snug in the dish to remain upright during baking. Repeat with the remaining artichokes and breadcrumbs.
- Pour the wine and 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the pan. Slice the remaining lemon into rounds and nestle them into the liquid. Tightly cover the dish with foil and bake until the artichokes leaves are tender and can be easily pulled off, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and increase the temperature to 500 degrees F.
- Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the artichokes from the dish with tongs and place onto a serving plate. Serve with the cooking liquid lemon slices.

Steps:
- Snip the pointed tips of artichoke leaves, and cut off the stems. Wash and drain. Holding artichoke firmly by base, firmly rap the top of it on a hard surface; this will open it so it can be stuffed.
- In a medium bowl combine bread cubes, garlic, parsley, Romano cheese, oregano, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, salt and pepper; mix well.
- Press about 1/2 cup of stuffing into each artichoke. Tightly pack stuffed artichokes together in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven. Add enough water to reach half way up artichokes and add 3 tablespoons oil.
- Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour, or until leaves pull out easily.

CRAB CAKE-STUFFED ARTICHOKES
We took the classic stuffed artichoke and gave it a boost with all the fun flavors of a crab cake, classic seafood seasoning included. Most stuffed artichoke recipes go through the same trimming process but keep the artichokes whole, leaving the inedible "choke" intact. We opted to cut the artichoke in half lengthwise, so that the choke can be easily removed with a melon baller, then stuffed and tied the artichoke back together with kitchen twine, insuring all the delicious filling stays inside.

Steps:
- Mix the crab meat, garlic, breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, seasoning blend, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and few good grinds pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Pour in the olive oil and toss until the mixture is evenly coated and the texture of wet sand. Set aside.
- Fill a large bowl with cold water, squeeze in the juice of 1 of the lemon halves and then drop in both lemon halves. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, trim about 1 inch off the top with a serrated knife, then snap off the tough outer leaves around the stem (about 2 layers of leaves). Use kitchen shears to trim 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the thorny leaf tips. Cut off the stem completely so the artichoke can sit flat and upright. Cut the artichoke in half lengthwise through the stem using a chef's knife, then use a melon baller to remove the choke (the fuzzy "hair" in the very center of the artichoke). Rub the cut parts with a lemon half (from the bowl), then keep the artichoke in the lemon water while you trim the rest.
- Use your fingers to spread the leaves of each artichoke half, then stuff the crumb mixture between each. Fill the very center of each artichoke half with some of the breadcrumb mixture as well. Use kitchen twine to tie the artichoke halves back together, making sure to prevent the breadcrumbs from falling out.
- Set up a steamer basket over a large pot of simmering water, then add the stuffed artichokes upright (don't worry if they're snug). Cover with a lid and steam over medium-low heat, adding more water as needed, until the bottom of the artichoke is tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Within the last 5 minutes of cooking, preheat the oven to broil.
- Transfer the stuffed artichokes from the steamer basket to a rimmed baking sheet and remove the kitchen twine. Place the artichoke halves cut-side up. Watching carefully, broil until the breadcrumbs turn crisp and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve with an extra dusting of seasoning blend and the lemon wedges.
STUFFED ARTICHOKE CAKE
Every artichoke lover will appreciate this cake: The leaves are totally edible! We dipped plastic spoons in green candy melts, let the candy dry, then popped each "leaf" off. We attached the leaves to the cake with a simple homemade buttercream (don't use canned frosting for this-it's not strong enough!). To make the "stuffing," we combined cake crumbs and green-tinted coconut.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the inside of a 1-quart ovenproof bowl and a 2-cup ovenproof measuring cup with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as the label directs. Pour 2 cups batter into the measuring cup and the rest into the bowl.
- Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the bowl and cup, then invert onto a rack to cool completely.
- Make the frosting: Beat the marshmallow cream, butter and confectioners' sugar with a mixer until fluffy, 3 minutes. Tint dark green with green food coloring and a few drops of red. (If the frosting is too thick, beat in 1 tablespoon hot water.)
- Flip the cakes right-side up. Trim the top of the bowl cake to make it level. Cut off a 1 1/2-inch piece from the bottom of the cup-shaped cake, then trim the top to make it level. Reserve all the cake trimmings.
- Put the bowl cake on a baking sheet, trimmed-side up. Spread the top with a layer of frosting, then place the cup-shaped cake on top, wide-end down. Freeze about 20 minutes.
- Melt the green and red candy melts with the shortening in the microwave. Dip the back of 10 plastic spoons in the candy to coat (do not let the candy go over the edge). Place on a separate baking sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze until set, no more than 5 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer. Carefully bend the bowl of the spoon and the handle to release the candy shell. (Don't worry if some break-you can remelt them.) Repeat to make about 80 leaves, remelting the candy as needed.
- Use a paring knife to trim 1 inch from the narrow end of each candy leaf. Save the small trimmed pieces for the top of the cake. (You can make the leaves a day ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.)
- Transfer the cake to a serving plate; arrange strips of wax paper around the bottom edge of the cake to keep the plate clean. Cover the cake with a generous layer of frosting to make an artichoke shape.
- Starting at the top center of the cake, arrange the small trimmed candy pieces in concentric circles, cut-edge up; cover the entire top. Place rows of the large candy leaves around the side of the cake to cover completely. Chill to set the frosting.
- Crumble the reserved cake trimmings on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F, stirring, until toasted; cool. Place the coconut in a resealable bag with 2 drops green food coloring; massage until green. Empty into a bowl and crumble in the cake crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture on top of the cake and into the leaves. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
ITALIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES
"I can remember Mom making this special treat at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas," writes Emma Magielda from Amsterdam, New York. "We looked forward to it all year!" TIP: For easy eating, Emma suggests pulling leaves from the artichoke one at a time. Draw each through your teeth slowly, scraping and eating only the tender flesh at the base. Continue until you reach the central cone or heart of tender young leaves. Eat this with a fork.
