Title: Artichokes Goatcheese

rec.food.recipes archive

12 small artichokes
 1 cup parsley, chopped
 1 cup goat cheese
 1/8 cup mild gorgonzola cheese
 1/2 cup pine nuts
 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
 1/2 cup lemon juice
 Choose artichokes with a 2-3 inch stem if possible. Remove all of
 the tough outer leaves, and cut in half. Only remove the chokes if
 necessary.   Place the artichokes into a casserole just large enough
 to hold them. Crumble the goat cheese and place over the artichokes.
 Do the same with the Gorgonzola. Sprinkle the pine nuts over the
 cheese. Whisk the olive oil and the lemon juice together.  Pour
 evenly over the dish, and add salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and
 place in a 350 degree oven. Bake for 20 minutes, baste once and
 then cook another 15 minutes or until the artichokes are tender.
 Serve warm as an appetizer or as a main course over pasta. If doing
 the latter, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water to dilute the sauce
 from the artichokes.
