6 artichokes
1 small chopped onion
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chopped mushrooms
1 cup diced hard salami
1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
3 teaspoons parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Clean artichokes, wash and break off the stems and fibers. Trim the tops of leaves. Cook slowly in salted boiling water for 15 minutes. They are done when the leaves pull out easily. Place in cold water to cool. Drain, then remove the prickly centers. Mix the bread crumbs, onions, salami, parsley and mushrooms. Place in center cavity of artichoke. Press down gently. Pile slightly on top. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top slightly. Bake in an oven at 375F. degrees for about 35 to 40 minutes in a covered casserole. Cook until done. Buon appetito.
