Baked Baby Artichokes

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

Clean the artichokes by peeling the stems, chopping off the top third, and peeling off the outer, tough leaves.

Step 3

Keep the prepared artichokes in a bowl of water with a little lemon added to prevent discoloration while you finish cleaning the rest.

Step 4

In a caserole dish large enough to hold all of the artichokes, add the artichokes, the garlic, olive oil and white wine.

Step 5

Add a little water if needed to bring the level up to almost cover the artichokes, cover, and then bake them in the preheated oven until they are tender.

Step 6

Usually this will take between 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the artichokes from the oven, and increase the temperature to 400 degrees F.

Step 8

Pour off any excess liquid from the cooked chokes, and set aside.

Step 9

Mix together the ingredients listed for the topping, and sprinkle this over the artichokes in the casserole dish.

Step 10

Drizzle on a little additional olive oil, and bake the archokes just until the topping becomes golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Step 11

Serve immediately, or at room temperature.
