I made these for a dinner party last night. My guests said they were the best artichokes they ever tasted. I made them exactly as written except I didn't add any salt thinking that the olives, capers and anchovies were salty enough. Absolutely delicious! Grazie nonna!

for the lady that thought she missed a step bcause the filling was too dry:
mix the olives and capers WITH the crumbmixture and make sure to use enough oil on top and
don't overbroil. watch the video again, it IS different than the recipe. yummy!

These were amazing. Did not get to see the whole episode so wasn't quite sure how to eat them. We pulled off the leaves from the outside and dipped them into the filling. Fabulous! As we are trying go go meatless more often, my husband said he could eat this as a meal with a side salad. For health reasons, we are trying to eat more of a Mediterranean diet. This so fits the bill!. I agree its a bit of work but so worth it. Served this with Giada's grilled lamb chops and a tomato salad. I will make this often.

The method of cooking these artichokes are absolutely decadent! I left out the capers & olives simply because I don't care for them, you also really need to use good quality breadcrumbs! Thumbs up for this recipe!

This recipe was a bit of work but truly worth it. Truly fantastic!
I made a few minor changes though. I used equal parts bread crumbs (Italian Style rather than plain since they have a more intense herb flavor and cheese. Prior to this, my only experience with Artichokes was boiling them and dipping the leaves in butter. This is an entirely new level of flavor!

This recipe is FANTASTIC!! It's so delicious, I've made it twice this week. I have never had artichokes "whole" before, only in dips and chopped. However, I love the salty anchovie/olive flavor. The bread crumbs simply finish this off fabulously. I will make this one over and over. Thank you!!

These artichokes were the best I think I ever had! A little time consuming, but worth it! The only ingredient I didn't use were the capers. This is the first time I cooked with anchovy paste and loved the salty depth of flavor it added. That being said, I felt that there was enough salt from the olives, anchovy paste and parmesean cheese so that next time I make this recipe I will slighty cut down on each of those ingredients and add the capers.

This was the first time I ever made artichokes, I only wish I knew how to clean them properly. But other than that I thought it was very good, and I even made some adjustments to suit my kids taste. I took out some of the olives, an added zuchinni, and tomatoes. And I did omit the bread crumbs for myself and it was still yummy.
