Stuffed Artichokes

Ingredients:

8 Artichokes
150 g of ham or salami, cut into cubes
1 egg
1 loaf
100 ml of milk
50 g of parmesan
1 Lemon
30 g of Parsley
1 clove garlic
Salt
Pepper

Procedure:

Prepare a bowl with water and the juice of the lemon. Wash the artichokes, cut the stem (that you can use in the filling), the tips of the remaining leaves that are prickly and remove the tough outer leaves at the base. Then force the center leaves slightly open in the middle and place them in the bowl with water and lemon as shown in the picture below. Place the loaf in a bowl with the milk in order to soften it. Cut in small pieces the stems of artichokes. Prepare a chopped garlic and parsley, put it in a bowl, and add in it the loaf crumbled, the egg, the pieces of stems, the ham or salami, the parmesan, salt and pepper. Mix all together and with this mixture fill the artichokes. Place the stuffed artichokes in a pan with a drizzle of oil and some water and cook on a low flame for about 30 minutes. Makes 4 servings.
