I dunno about this one. I followed the recipe exactly, eliminating only the mint because I didn't have any. It tastes delicious, but looks ugly as sin, nothing like Anne's, because I had to cook the death out of the artichokes to get them tender. Maybe they weren't ripe enough? Maybe I didn't remove enough outer leaves? In any event, not sure I'd make this again. No, wait. I'd use the stuffing for zucchini or little eggplants and bake. Now that's a winner.

I hate to do it, but I have to say I was pretty unhappy with this recipe. It was way, way, WAY too lemony...yet otherwise bland, the filling was soggy, the artichoke was too oily and even the timing was off. I had to cook my 2 artichokes for over 45 minutes. There also wasn't enough filling to completely fill up the center...which was fine since we barely ate any anyway. Thankfully I left most of the outer leaves on so we enjoyed those dipped in butter. I don't like being negative about someone else's creations, but this was not good. Nor was it an inexpensive side dish. Of the 50+ recipe reviews I have written, this is the only one to which I have given just 1 star.

Thank You Anne!! you inspire me to try new things. I've never thought to attempt to prepare artichokes before. I tried it, and it seemed very daunting. I was sure I was messing it all up....BUT it was absolutely delicious!!! Put that one in my recipe box for sure. YUM YUM YUM

Loved it. I cut the artichokes in half then cooked them in water. Afterward I put the filling and set it for a couple of minutes under the broiler. Perfect.

Let me start by saying I love artichokes in their simplest form. I have never wanted them any other way, but just had to try this recipe. Even included anchovies, which I loathe. Oh my goodness!!!!! Followed this recipe to a T and if the smell in my house didn't make me want to slap my mama, the taste sure did!!!!! I have to think the "unique" taste experience was the anchovies. I did use the paste, based on other reviews, but I can't imagine this recipe w/o them. Fortunately, I live alone, so I have three more meals from nirvana. Thanks, Anne. LOVE YOU!!!

OMG!!! This recipe should be rated 10 STARS!!! These are just like the stuffed artichokes from THE ROSEBUD CAFE in Chicago! FANTASTIC!!! The only thing I change is, I cook them in a mixture of 1/4 white wine and 3/4 chicken broth. Delicious! Thanks Anne. Love your recipes.

I love this recipe. The anchovies and the crush pepper added another kick and they should be included. It was delicious and I'd make it again, not hard at all. Thanks Anne!!!

Other than not cooking them long enough, Your fork is your best friend, fab! Never thought to scoop out the middle. Have stuffed for years and then made J.Childs hollindaise sauce with this-Yum. It's true, nothing is better than butter.

i've cooked artichokes for 48 years, and love them. i liked the stuffing,,,,raw,,,, again, use the anchovy paste, dont fool with canned, unless you get the v. good ones packed in salt and need them whole. (cooking anchovies so they disappear? why start with whole ones? (never heard even one TV cook mention this the artichoke i used was as big as my fist, but after removing the outer leaves, and trimming, the 40 minutes i cooked it was too much, way too soft. i suggest you remove only a few leaves as you can trim way too much. because this is cooked with a lid, the stuffing was soggy from steam dripping down into it. all in all, no, wont cook this again. there's nothing better than artichokes served with fresh lemon juice, salted, and butter to dip into. why go to this fuss, and the time consuming cleaning, when it's not necessary? not worth the effort.
