Aunt Tina and Mom's Stuffed Artichokes-Paired With "Pour Judgement" IPA From Grey Sail Brewing

Stuffed artichokes are my ALL TIME FAVORITE food!

I think it started with holidays at my Aunt Tina's...

I remember stuffing artochokes with my whole family, especially my mom, and especially around Christmas time.

Not only are they delicious, but I relate them to all the best times of the year!

I'm so happy that I can share this recipe, I know my mom is going to be elated when she reads this.

Ingredients:

(Makes 1 artichoke; this recipe is easy to multiply)

1 Medium Artichoke

5 Cloves of Garlic

2/8 Cup Olive Oil

3/4 Cup Parmesean Cheese 

3/8 Cup Vegetable Oil

1 Cup Breadcrumb

Directions:

Cut the base stem off and 1/4 and inch of the top to take off the "pickers".

Wash and dry.

Mix ingredients in large bowl.

Separate each leaf and stuff!!!

Next, pick your pot!

You want a snug fit for both the lid and the artichoke. 

Fill the pot with ¼ inch of water and 3 Tablespoons of olive oil.

Make sure to check the pot every so often and refill water when needed-You need that water to steam the artichokes… no one likes hard dry artichokes!

 

Bring the water in the pot to a boil-then lower temperature to simmer and cook until leaves are tender and artichoke begins to spread apart on its own. 

Usually takes an hour or two… I always encourage taste testing :P

Once done you can eat right away or cover and leave in your fridge.

 

I paired this dish with Grey Sail Brewing’s “Pour Judgment”. 

The earthy fruity hops really paired well with this vegetable. 

The bright, fruity, hops contrast with the oily earthy leaves; because of the contrasting flavors, but similar earthy notes you are really able to enjoy this brew’s full hop character. The breadcrumbs act as an awesome palate cleanser, making this a great combo!

 

Thank you for reading everyone.
