2 large organic artichokes
2 organic potatoes
2 organic lemon
1 tablespoon organic bread crumbs
2 cloves organic garlic, minced
3 organic chopped basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
1/2 cup, organic chicken stock
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. With kitchen scissors, trim all the sharp ends off of each leaf and cut the stem off the artichokes. Wash the artichokes well in cool water. Slice down the center to form two halves. Clean out all the fuzzy hairs and smaller leaves with a spoon. Slice potatoes medium sizes chunks then immediately rub all the cut areas with a lemon & olive oil.
Next combine the olive oil, basil, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper in a bowl. Mix until it becomes a paste. Rub it all over the artichoke halves and inside the leaves. Take lemon juice and squirt all over the artichokes & potatoes. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over artichokes and potatoes. Slice lemon wedges and insert them into baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in oven at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
