STUFFED ARTICHOKES 3 large artichokes 1/4 lb. ground beef 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 c. seasoned dry bread crumbs 1/2 c. olive oil 3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 tsp. salt Wash artichokes. Cut off stems at base, remove and discard small bottom leaves. Cut off a 1-inch horizontal slice from top of each artichoke. With scissors trim tips of leaves. In large pan cook beef, onion and garlic over medium-high heat until beef is browned. Remove the pan from heat. Add bread crumbs, olive oil, cheese and salt. Pull leaves of artichokes down to open; do not pull off. Fill each leaf with mixture. Stand artichokes upright in large saucepan. Add enough water to come to 3 1/4-inches up side of pan. Over high heat bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, basting occasionally for 40 minutes or until tender.
