For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. Serve the artichokes hot, with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. If the liquid reduces too quickly during simmering, add more water to maintain the desired level.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Prepare the Artichokes (15 minutes): Using a sharp knife, trim the stems and tops of each artichoke. Peel away the tough outer leaves until you reach the more tender inner leaves. Use kitchen scissors to snip off the thorny tips of the remaining leaves. Peel the tough exterior from the reserved stems and cut them in half lengthwise.
02
Step
5 mins
Create the Savory Stuffing (10 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine the Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, minced Pecorino Romano cheese, chopped fresh mint, minced fresh garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil and mix thoroughly until the mixture is moistened and well combined.
03
Step
10 mins
Stuff the Artichokes (15 minutes): Gently coax the artichoke leaves open by wiggling them back and forth with your thumbs. Generously stuff the breadcrumb mixture between the leaves and into the heart of each artichoke, ensuring every crevice is filled with flavor.
04
Step
1 hrs
Simmer to Perfection (60 minutes): Place the stuffed artichokes and stem pieces in a large, lidded pan. Pour in the white wine and water, being careful not to pour directly over the artichokes to avoid washing away the stuffing. Cover the pan tightly and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until an outer leaf can be easily pulled off, approximately 1 hour.
