baked artichoke

so i made this twice, and well this one looks so much better and is something that actually can be made by a lot of people. There are two steps.

Preparation of the artichoke

• pull apart center leaves of artichoke
• cut the center so that you take the prickly center
• use spoon to get all that out so you only have the center being empty
• add a bit of lemon juice to make sure it doesn't change color
• add artichoke to boiling water
• let boil for 10 min so it gets kind of soft
• take out
  
• add cold water so it cools
• cut the edges of artichoke
  

now for the stuffing i used

• some garlic lemon chicken that i made the other day
• some potatoes that were boiled then mashed up with the sauce from chicken
• grated parm/mozzarella cheese

i stuffed the center with all that and then put in oven at 375ish for 20ish min. I also added a bit of balsamic vinegar on the edge of artichoke

now enjoy. Its enough to eat for two people
