Stuffed Artichokes in the InstantPot

This is another recipe I never thought I would make until I met my husband! His family is all about stuffed artichokes.  I've never gotten their specific recipes, but I've tried many and this is my adaptation of how we like them.  I love them full of garlic and cheese. Yum! Makes a great appetizer for Italian night or pizza night at your house. Give it a go! 

Ingredients: 

• 2-3 large artichokes or 4 small/medium 

• 1/4 cup ricotta cheese 

• 1/4 italian breadcrumbs

• 2 cups parmesan grated finely  

• 2 tsp pepper

• 2 tbsp garlic powder 

• Olive oil to drizzle on top 

• Lemon to squeeze on top 

• 1 1/2 cups water for the pot 

• 8 cloves of garlic chopped up to go in the bottom of the pot 

Directions: 

• Mix together the cheese and seasonings- use your hands! It will mix it better than a spoon will 

• Spread out the artichokes and stuff as much as you can on each leaf 

• Put 1 1/2 cups water in your Instant Pot and put the trivet inside 

• Place the artichokes close together 

• Close the lid and seal it

• Use the manual cooking mode and put it on high pressure for 20 minutes

• You will have tender, soft artichokes- if you like them a little firmer, don't cook as long
