Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup dry white wine
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 slices white sandwich bread
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
4 medium artichokes (about 12 ounces each), prepared
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pour wine and 1 cup water in bottom of a shallow 2-quart baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine bread, prosciutto, scallions, oil, and garlic; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Season stuffing with salt and pepper.
Gently spread outer leaves of artichokes to create room for stuffing. Fill cavity and spaces between outer leaves with breadcrumb mixture; place upright in prepared baking dish.
Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the base of an artichoke is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 60 to 75 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
