Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 large artichokes (about 1 pound each)

2 garlic cloves -- halved

3 lemon slices

1/2 cup uncooked bulgur or cracked wheat

1 cup boiling water

2 cups diced tomato

1/2 cup frozen baby lima beans

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 garlic cloves -- minced

 

Cut off stem from each artichoke; remove bottom leaves, and discard. Trim about

1/2 inch from top of each artichoke. Place artichokes, stem ends down, in a

large Dutch oven filled two-thirds with water. Add the garlic halves and lemon

slices, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes or until

a leaf near the center of each artichoke pulls out easily. Remove artichokes

from pan, and discard cooking liquid, garlic, and lemon. Remove center leaves

and furry thistles with a spoon, and discard. Set artichokes aside.

 

Combine the bulgur and boiling water in a medium bowl. Cover and let stand for

45 minutes. Drain. Combine the bulgur, tomato, and remaining ingredients in a

large bowl.

 

Spoon 1 cup tabbouleh into center of each artichoke.
