1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Wash artichokes under cold running water. Cut off

stems at base and remove small bottom leaves. Cut off

top quarter of artichokes; discard. Spread leaves,

remove center leaves and fuzzy centers with a spoon

and discard.

Toss bread crumbs with cheese, olive oil, garlic,

parsley, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Stuff

bread crumb mixture between leaves of artichokes and

fill centers. Place stuffed artichokes in a 9-inch

square baking dish. Pour 2 cups boiling water around

the artichokes. Cover with lid or foil. Bake at 350

degrees for 40 minutes or until artichokes are tender.
