- 3 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup pignoli nuts
- 4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 6 whole artichokes, rinsed
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix the bread crumbs and pignoli nuts in a medium bowl until well blended. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth, olive oil, garlic, and parsley. Reserve1 cup of the mixture in a separate bowl.
- Trim the stems off the bottom of the artichokes and trim about 3 inches from the top (so almost half is trimmed off).
- Stuff the bread crumb mixture between the artichoke leaves as tightly as possible.
- Arrange the artichokes in a deep baking dish or roasting pan and then pour the chicken broth dressing into the bottom of the pan. It should come about halfway up the sides of the artichokes.
- Cover the dish with foil and transfer to the oven. Cook for 1 hour, then remove the foil and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes more, or until the artichokes and stuffing are golden brown. Before eating, ladle a little of the reserved stuffing over the artichokes. Serve with lemon wedges.
