Ingredients

artichokes
1 c. Italian bread crumbs
1/4 c. olive oil

Preparation

Wash artichokes and spread leaves apart.
Cut the top of each leaf off to make straight edges.
Mix bread crumbs with olive oil until moistened.
Add garlic.
Stuff in between each leaf on artichoke.
Place in deep pan, standing upright, so they are snug. Add about 1 cup water or enough to cover 1/3 bottom of artichokes. Heat to boil, cover and simmer about 40 to 45 minutes or until leaves pull out easily.
