Stuffed Artichokes

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Put 2 cups of salted water and the vinegar in a large, stainless steel
saucepan and bring to a boil. Slice 1-inch off the tops of the center cone
of the artichokes and cut the stalks so they will sit flat. Trim the tips
from the leaves and rub the surfaces with lemon. Put the artichokes in the
water and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes. When the leaves pull off
easily, put the artichokes on a rack; cool and drain them upside down.
Remove the center leaves and the choke with a spoon and discard.
Saute the onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, stirring until translucent, 3
to 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Saute the zucchini in the remaining
olive oil until lightly browned, add the mushrooms and cook for 2 more
minutes, add to the onions.
Mix the egg, mozzarella, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Add to the
vegetable mixture, stir well.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and the
bread crumbs. Brown lightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vegetable-egg
mixture. Stuff the center and the leaves of the artichokes with the
mixture. Set the artichokes upright in a baking dish with the water below
the first leaf, about 1 cup. Sprinkle the juice of one lemon and the
remaining Parmesan over the artichokes. Bake them, covered, for 30 minutes.
Uncover for the last few minutes to brown the cheese.
