Ingredients
4 Artichokes3 lemons10 oz mild Gorgonzola at room temperature2 Tbs of heavy cream2 tsp fresh thyme1 Tbs plus 2 tsp chopped Italian parsley1 garlic clove minced1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp pepper3 Tbs plain bread crumbs1 Tbs olive oil
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Tim the artichokes by cutting off the top inch or so. Cut the stem close to the base of the artichoke so the artichoke can stand upright, and remove some of the tough outer leaves. Using kitchen shears, trim the sharp points off of any remaining outer leaves. Drop the artichokes into the boiling water. Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into the boiling water, then toss in the lemons. Cook the artichokes until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the artichokes Upside down on a clean kitchen towel and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the gorgonzola cheese, cream, thyme, 2 tsp of parsley, the garlic, salt and pepper. Stir together the bread crumbs and remaining parsley in another small bowl.
Preheat the oven to 400. Spread the artichokes open with your fingers and use a small spoon to scrape out the center choke. Stuff the cheese mixture into the artichokes and arrange them in a baking dish. Sprinkle the artichokes with the bread crumb mixture and then drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until the artichokes are heated through, the cheese is melted and the bread crumbs are crisp and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to a serving dish and serve.
