Special...

Dinner tonight was something that took a little more time and effort,
but is soooooo worth it...
My family loves them, and since they have a limited season,
we take the opportunity every chance we get.

 

First, you take some artichokes...

 

You take all the tough outer leaves off, trim the stalk and top...
The lemon in the water keeps the cut bits from browning.

 

All the discarded bits...

 

The stuffing is made from fresh breadcrumbs, lots of chopped parsley,
parmesan cheese and mince.
I used pork and veal mince...

 

The stuffing is pushed in between the leaves.
As much or little as you like...

Packed tight into pots, drizzle with dry white wine, olive oil,
salt and pepper...

I also added some chopped fresh tomato for extra moistness...

Slow cook 2-3 hours, and ta da!
Dish up some delish food, served with lots of chunky bread...
