The Kinky Cook

Join the Kinky Cook this month in: "Gentlemen Prefer Pink: A recipe for Stuffed Artichoke Hearts"

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds lean ground lamb
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon crumbled or lamb stock
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1Tbsp.fresh garlic, minced
  • 15 small artichokes, fresh or frozen
  • 2 Tbsp.olive oil
  • 1/2 C bread crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp.fresh cilantro, chopped fine

Lemon Garlic Sauce:

  • 1C fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2C water
  • 3 celery sticks thinly sliced

Combine sauce mixture and set aside in a plastic container.

Mix ground lamb with onions, 2 eggs, parsley, chicken bouillon,garlic and pepper. You won't need to add any salt to this dish because the bouillon has salt already added.

Clean and steam your artichokes, then stuff the artichokes with the lamb mixture mounting, I mean mounding the lamb filling above the rim.

Heat oil in non-stick skillet. Dip the top of the stuffed hearts in the remaining beaten eggs, then in the bread crumbs and fry them bottoms up in oil till golden brown on medium heat.

Place fried hearts, stuffed side down in a baking dish and pour lemon sauce around them , you don't want them too wet (who are we kidding).

Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven, you MUST always preheat your oven, it's the foreplay of cooking.

Bake for 25-30 minutes depending on just how pink you like your meat.
