Stuffed Roasted Artichokes with Chili and Mint
The earthy, nutty flavor of artichokes, as well as their unique shape, with many natural pockets to fill, makes them great vehicles for bold seasonings like the garlic and two types of chili in this stuffing. The refreshing quality of mint counteracts the spice from the jalapeño and the richness of the oil-coated bread crumbs.
