INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium artichokes
  • Lemon Juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup water

DIRECTIONS

  1. Rinse artichokes well; trim stem. Cut 1 in. off the top. Snip the tip of each leaf with a kitchen shears. Brush cut edges with lemon juice. Spread artichoke open. Using a small knife, carefully cut around center choke. Scoop out and discard the fuzzy center. In a saucepan, place artichokes in a steam basket over 1 in. of boiling water. Cover; steam for 20-25 minutes or until crisp-tender. Invert on a paper towel to drain. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, ketchup, bread crumbs, basil, parsley and garlic. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Stuff meat mixture into center of artichokes and between leaves. Place in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Combine tomato sauce and water; pour over top. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until meat is no longer pink.
