Italian-Style Stuffed Artichokes - Lipton Kitchens

Preparation : Prepare artichokes for cooking as directed; set aside. In medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, Italian dressing, 1/4 cup onion, cheese and parsley. Stuff bread crumb mixture between artichoke leaves. In large nonaluminum saucepan, bring broth and remaining 1/4 cup onion to a boil. Add artichokes and simmer covered, basting occasionally, 40 minutes or until leaves are tender and pull out easily. Makes 4 servings. *For best flavor and texture, make the fresh bread crumbs using Italian or French bread. Also terrific with Wish-Bone Robusto Italian or Lite Italian Dressing. HOW TO PREPARE ARTICHOKES FOR COOKING: 1. Wash artichokes in cold water; drain.

With a large knife, cut stem close to base. Cut off 1 inch of top.
