Ingredients

4 fresh artichokes
3 c. plain bread crumbs
1 1/2 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 Tbsp. oregano
2 oz. Romano grated cheese (Italian)

1/2 c. celery, chopped fine
2 cans flat fillets of anchovies, chopped fine using oil in can also*

Preparation

Cut tops (1/2-inch) and stems from artichokes.
Cut stem close to bottom so choke can sit flat; peel stem and put aside.
Hold choke under running water and as you rinse, open leaves very carefully so as not to break any.
Rinse chokes and stems very well.
Turn upside-down after shaking all excess water off.
Set aside.
