INGREDIENTS • 2 sticks salted butter • ½ onion, diced (Vidalias are the best) • Elephant garlic clove • 1 cup extra virgin olive (divided) • Loaf of stale Italian or French bread (no sesame seed), cut up DIRECTIONS Stuffing Prep: Make stuffing in a large sauté pan. Put butter, diced onion, and garlic in the pan. Drizzle some olive oil over the mix, then add cut-up, stale bread to the pan. Squeeze a whole lemon over the mixture before adding some fresh parsley and Italian breadcrumbs. Slowly pour some chicken broth into the pan, so you can control the moisture. Now add salt and pepper to taste, and just keep tossing with a spatula until light and fluffy. Prepping the Artichokes: Use scissors to cut off the thorny tips of the artichokes. Cut the stem so the artichokes can sit flat in the pan without falling over. Drizzle with lemon, olive oil, and salt. Ro’s Delicious Stuffed Artichokes

• 1 whole lemon • Fresh parsley • 2 cups of Italian breadcrumbs • 1 ½ cups of chicken broth • Salt and pepper, to taste • 6 artichokes Now wrap each artichoke in a wet paper towel and then plastic wrap. Place 2–3 artichokes at a time into a microwave and cook on high for up to 6 minutes or until tender. Let cool. Stuffing the Artichokes: Now hand-stuff all the leaves of the artichoke with stuffing — including the middle! Put the artichokes in a roasting pan that has water in the bottom (about halfway up the artichoke), then cover with aluminum foil. Set oven to 375 F, place pan in the oven, and let the artichoke steam for 15 minutes. Remove foil and light broil to brown the tops to a nice light-to-medium toast. Serve with a drizzle of lemon and more extra virgin olive oil.

Review of the Month
“This was my first time ever needing a lawyer and someone recommended me to them. Let me just tell you they helped change my life. Not only were they responsive and good at what they did, but they were also kind and helpful every time I called or reached out to them. My case manager, Joan, was so incredibly helpful and kind. Every time I asked her a question about something I was confused about, she would thoroughly explain it and help walk me through it. I will definitely be recommending them to family and friends.” –Nicole A.
