Parmesan Stuffed Artichokes

Ingredients:

2 large artichokes
half a lemon
1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons romano cheese, shredded
1 clove of garlic, minced
black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil

Prepare the artichokes. Cut the stems so they sit upright. Cut off the top third of the artichoke and trip the tops of the remaining leaves with shears. Rub all cut edges with the lemon. Set aside.

In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheeses, garlic, black pepper, and olive oil.

Stuff the mixture into the leaves of the artichokes.

Pour some water and juice of remaining lemon in the baking dish. Place artichokes in the baking dish and cover with foil. Bake at 400 for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes.
