Best Artichoke Sausage And Parmesan Cheese Stuffing Recipes

BAKED ITALIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES RECIPE WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 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, minced garlic, Italian seasoning and 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated parmesan, until just combined. Do not over-mix.
• 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 stoneware baking dish, facing up.
• Drizzle the artichokes all over with lemon juice and olive oil, including the tops and sides.
• Stuff each artichoke with the sausage mixture, making sure you get some between all the leaves and in the center. Sprinkle the artichokes with the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 grams) grated parmesan.
• 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.
