Carciofi Farciti (stuffed Artichokes) (constance)

People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.

INSTRUCTIONS

Rich and flavourful but very simple to prepare, stuffed artichokes
make a good dinner party starter.  They can be prepared well in
advance and put into the oven at the last minute.  Prepare 8 small
artichokes as described above, cutting off at least a  third of their
tops.  Don't bother to remove the choke at this stage.  Drop into
boiling salted water and boil for I 0 minutes.  Drain  upside down in a
colander.  When cool enough to handle, remove the  coarser outside
leaves and the central leaves and the choke, to make  cups.  Mix
together 100 g of finely chopped ham, 100 g chopped cooked  chicken, 2
tablespoons of cream (or use evaporated skim milk),  chopped parsley,
salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.  Stuff the  artichoke cups with
this mixture.  Put the cups into an oiled baking dish, sprinkle with
grated Parmesan  cheese and bake in an oven preheated to 220C for about
15 minutes.  Serve.  Makes 4 servings.  From "Raw Materials" by Meryl
