Maltese stuffed artichokes

Ingredients

  • 4 artichokes
  • Maltese loaf crumbled (if a bit stale better) 
  • Tuna chunks in oil 
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced 
  • Lots of fresh parsley finely chopped 
  • Capers 
  • Olives 
  • Sundried tomatoes 
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper 
  • Olive oil

Method

  1. Mix all these ingredients well. 
  2. Stuff the filling between the artichoke leaves, make sure you fill them really well, push the leaves with your fingers so you make space where to fill in with the filling. 
  3. Make sure that the mixture is not dry and add olive oil if necessary 
  4. Place in a pot with cold water at the bottom and bring to a boil, cover the pot for around 30 mins. The artichokes are ready when it is easy to pull out one of the leaves. 
  5. Drizzle some more olive oil on the artichokes and serve immediately. 
  6. Serve with plenty of fresh Maltese bread.
