- 4 artichokes
- 1 lb ground sausage
- red and yellow bell pepper, chopped
- onion, chopped
- seasonings maybe salt, pepper, season salt, garlic, Parmesan cheese
- I saw Tiffany Haddish do this recipe, but she didn’t give amounts of anything.
- Cut about an inch off the tops of the artichokes and cut off the stems to make a flat bottom. Use kitchen shears to trim the sharp tips off the leaves.
- Bring a large pot of salt water to a boil. Add the artichokes and place a heat-safe dish on top of them to keep them submerged in the water. Boil for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside upside down to drain and cool.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the Italian sausage,peppers, onion, seasonings, until just combined. Do not over-mix. (Or I saw you can cook the sausage then add the peppers and onions to saute. Then add the seasonings. This way you can taste test since we don’t have a recipe)
- Once the artichokes are cool enough to handle, dry them with paper towels, gently pry open the center leaves, and use a spoon with a twisting motion to scoop out the fuzzy choke inside. Place the artichokes into a baking dish, facing up.
- Stuff each artichoke with the sausage mixture, making sure you get some between all the leaves and in the center. Sprinkle the artichokes with Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through (to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C)) and the outer leaves are easy to remove.
- Remove the foil. Set the oven to broil and place the stuffed artichokes under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brown the cheese. I think adding some mozzarella would be good at this point too.
- Pull leaves off with sausage mixture on them and eat.
Let me know if you try this and how it works. I combined recipes I found online.
