Ingredients

    Artichokes, fresh, 1 artichoke, medium
    Sweet and/or fingerling potato 2 small (about 3/4 cup potato once mashed
    Garlic, .5 tsp or one clove, minced
    Onions, raw, 1 tbsp minced
    balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon
    Salt, 1 dash
    Pepper, black, 1 dash
    Mozzarella - shredded part skim cheese, 1.5 T
    Dried herbs of choice (basil, oregano, thyme)
    Parmesan Cheese, grated, a few pinches
    Parsley, 2 sprigs

Directions

1. Prepare and Steam artichokes until tender (about 20 min). Cool a bit and then spread leaves wide open to remove the thistle and create a "bowl" for the potatoes.
2. While artichokes steam, boil the potatoes, covered in water, until very tender (also about 20 min.). Drain potatoes and mash with a fork - I leave the skins on but that's optional.
3. Add the garlic, onion, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, mozzarella, and dried herbs to the potatoes and mix well.
4. Put the artichoke on a foil-lined baking sheet and stuff the artichoke with the potato mixture. Top with the parmesan and bake 15-20 min. Top with fresh parsley if desired. Eat from the inside out, discarding any tough leaves.
