Ardy Shouki (Artichoke Casserole)
 
10 fresh artichokes
1/2 lb. ground lean veal meat
1/4 cup chopped onions
3 tablespoons pine nuts
lemon juice
salt, pepper and cinnamon
vegetable oil

Take out all the thick leaves around the artichoke. Cut the top
horizontally.  Cut the base, too. With a tablespoon remove the
hairy center, making a well in the center.  Do the same thing with
the rest, putting them in a pan filled with water and 1/4 cup lemon
juice when you finish each one, in order to preserve its color.
With one tablespoon butter, stir the meat, onions and pine nuts
till brown. Add the seasoning.  Fry the drained artichoke with 5
tablespoons vegetable oil till slightly brown. Drain.  Arrange in
pan, pour in it a cup of water and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Adjust the
seasoning.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes till they are
tender. Serve with Aroz Mofalfal and green mixed salad.
