Growing up we had artichokes made Southern Italian style. They were stuffed with a tuna fish and bread crumb filling, seasoned to taste. You really mash the filling into the middle and down between some of the leaves then steam them. The stuffing was to die for. The artichoke wasn’t too bad either.
