Ingredients

Salt
4 artichokes
3 lemons, plus 1 lemon
10 ounces mild Gorgonzola cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus 1 tablespoon
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Trim the artichokes by cutting off the top 1-inch or so. Cut the stem close to the base of the artichoke so the artichoke can sit up straight, and remove some of the bottom leaves. Using kitchen shears, trim the sharp points off of any remaining outer leaves. Add the artichokes to the boiling water. Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into the boiling water. Toss in the lemons. Cook the artichokes until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the artichokes and let cool.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together the Gorgonzola, cream, thyme, 2 teaspoons parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. In another small bowl stir together the bread crumbs and remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the center choke of the artichokes using a small spoon. Stuff the cheese mixture into the center of the artichokes. Place the artichokes into a baking dish. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the artichokes. Drizzle the tops of the artichokes with olive oil. Bake until the artichokes are heated through, the cheese is melted, and the bread crumbs are crisp and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to a serving dish and serve.

Too Strong!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Cheese did not melt, stayed lumpy. Even cooked it longer. Very strong. Only ate leaves with bread crumbs and discarded the... cheese. Would need to use a milder cheese that melts next time.Read more

Too rich!!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The recipe looked great in theory but on first bite I knew we (my girlfriend and I) would be leaving most of the filling on... the plate. Absolutely wonderful filling but we felt that the Gorgonzola and cream was too heavy for the delicate flavor of the artichoke. Next time we will definitely use a milder cheese and possibly quarter and grill the chokes to add depth to the flavor so they can stand up to the topping.Read more

Did it your way the first time delicious ... but ... too heavy. I cut the cheese in half and replaced it with a minced... shallot, 3 minced mushrooms plus a heaping tablespoon of tangy greek yogurt. Yummm ... a vegan delight !!!Read more

Very Tasty, and can be played around with.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The first time I tried this recipe I followed the recipe exactly. I thought it was very good the first time round, that I got... other ideas from it to create other great recipes. Sometimes if I have friends coming over I cut the gorgonzola down by half (not all people like strong cheese) and add parm or mozzorella to it. You can also and meat or fish, and make it more the main corse of the meal! Thanks Giada for a great go to recipe!!!Read more
