This is an easy way, full of flavor, to stuff an artichoke, with a combination of herb, parmesan and anchovy (only if you want to.)

INGREDIENTS

1 cup fresh basil leaves
4 green onions
3-4 anchovy fillets (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced
½ cup finely grated parmesan
¼ cup bread crumbs (or matzo meal)
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¼ cup lemon juice

10 artichoke bottoms, thawed if frozen (see note above)

DIRECTIONS

Oven to 350 degrees. Grease a pan.
Put basil, green onion, anchovy (if using), garlic, parmesan and bread crumbs in a food processor and pulse to get fine crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and pulse shortly.
Spoon from the herb mix into each of the artichoke bottoms, arrange them in the pan, drizzle with 2 more tablespoons of olive oil. Mix 1 cup of hot water with ¼ cup lemon juice and a teaspoon of salt and pour into the pan (not on the artichokes themselves.) Bake for 30 minutes, until artichoke is tender, and serve.
