4 to 6 artichokes
Lemon juice
2 c. bread crumbs
1/4 c. olive oil
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. chopped parsley
Salt & pepper

Clean and remove "chokes" from artichokes. Trim off leaf tips. Brush with lemon juice. Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons garlic, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Stuff centers and between leaves of artichokes with breading.

Place artichokes snugly upright in baking pan. Fill halfway with water. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons oil over artichoke tops.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until artichokes are tender.

To eat artichokes, pull out leaves, one by one.
