Yummy Stuffed Artichoke

Ingredients

• 2 big artichokes 
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs 
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese 
• ½  Mozzarella ball 
• A handful of fresh green onions 
• ½ cup of bacon bits 
• 2 garlic cloves 
• Olive oil 
• 2 lemons
• 1 tsp of Yummy Seafood Seasoning 
• 1 tsp of Yummy Blackening Seasoning

Preparation 

• First, we need to prep the artichokes. Cut a flat top about ⅓ and trim the stickers using scissors. 
• The stem has to go to, we need the artichokes to be able to stand. 
• Before stuffing them, rinse them and place upside down to drain. 

Preparation – Stuffing – 

• In a mixing bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese,  the minced garlic, the chopped green onions, bacon and 1 tsp of Yummy Seafood Seasoning with 1 tsp of Yummy Blackening Seasoning. The combination of both seasonings will make the artichokes burst in flavor bringing out all of the New Orleans seasonings.
• As a final touch, add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the mix. 
• Stuff the mix into the artichokes, pressing gently and spreading the leaves, filling them each if possible. 
• Once you are finished, place a slice of mozzarella on top and pour some olive oil all over the artichokes. 

Cooking

• Place snugly into a pot to prevent them from falling over. Fill the pot with about 2 fingers of water
• Add a lemon, chopped in quarters, into the water. 
• Cover the pot and cook on low medium and bring to a boil. 
• Lower the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes. 
• Check from time to time that there is still water in the pot, otherwise your artichokes will burn. 
• You’ll know it’s ready when the leaves can be pulled off. 

Serving 

• Serve with a side of white rice or salad. 
• This and all Yummy recipes are best enjoyed when shared with friends and family.
