Recipe - Stuffed Artichokes Italian Style

6 Med artichokes
1 One half cup Soft Italian bread, grated
One fourth cup Fresh parsley
One half cup Grated Romano cheese
Salt and pepper
1 Clove garlic chopped
Olive oil
Salt and more garlic

Soak 6 med. artichokes in cold water One half hour. Stand on counter and trim
points off leaves with scissors and cut off bottoms so they will be flat to
sit in pan. Then, standing artichokes upside down, give them a firm whack
so that leaves will open slightly to put stuffing in. Combine all
ingredients with enough oil to moisten bread mixture. Stuff inside of
leaves. Place stuffed artichokes in a pan of water ( about 1 One fourth cups water
) to which 1 tsp salt and 3 crushed garlic cloves have been added. Sprinkle
more oil over artichokes and simmer slowly for 45 minutes or tender.
