Crab-Stuffed Artichokes Recipe
  • Prep: 50 min. Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 4 Servings
50 20 70

Ingredients

  • 4 medium artichokes
  • 2 cups lump crabmeat, drained
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Using a sharp knife, level the bottom of each artichoke and cut 3/4 in. from the top. Using kitchen scissors, snip off tips of outer leaves; brush cut edges with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  • Stand artichokes in a Dutch oven; add 2 in. of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until leaves near the center almost pull out easily.
  • Invert artichokes to drain. With a spoon, carefully scrape out the fuzzy center portion of artichokes and discard.
  • In a large bowl, combine the crab, cheese, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, green pepper, onion, salt and remaining lemon juice. Gently spread artichoke leaves apart; fill with stuffing.
  • Place in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish; add 1/2 in. of warm water. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and leaves near the outer edge pull out easily. Yield: 4 servings.
