8 Qts. water
2 Cups Italian Parsley -- Coarsely Chopped
1 Heaping Tsp. freshly ground pepper
2 Cups Unseasoned Bread Crumbs
3 Cups Romano Cheese -- grated
3 Cloves Garlic -- Minced
2 Cups Oil
Turn artichoke on its side. Holding artichoke firmly by its leaves, slice stem off bottom with a serrated knife, being careful not to cut into leaves.

scissors, trim tips off all artichoke leaves.
Repeat with remaining artichokes.
In a large pot, bring 8 qts water to a boil and drop in artichokes.
Cover tightly and boil on high heat for 30-35 minutes until artichokes are semi-tender and have lost their green color.
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Meanwhile mix ingredients for stuffing.
Combine parsley, black pepper, breadcrumbs, Romano and garlic in a bowl.

When artichokes are cooked, place them upside down too drain and cool slightly, then open leaves.
Starting from outside leaves and working to center, sprinkle in stuffing.

Bake for 30-40 minutes until they are slightly browned on top.
