Ingredients:

Serving

6 large artichokes
1 1/2 cups olive oil, plus more for stuffing
1 loaf italian bread, cubed
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tbsp onion powder
1 large onion, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (16 oz) can pitted black olives, chopped

Directions:

Cut off stems of artichokes and set aside.
Cut off top of artichoke leaves, creating a flat top. Cut thorns off top of each leaf on artichoke. Gently stretch artichoke from inside to create hole for stuffing.
Cut away little purple/white thorny leaves in center. Peel away outer skin of stems so that it is fresh all around. Chop stems into small cubes for stuffing.
In a large bowl drizzle olive oil over bread cubes until they're moist. Add salt & pepper, chopped onion and garlic, sliced olives and chopped stems. Work together with hands. Check olive oil content by squeezing stuffing into a ball in your hand. If it sticks together, there's enough oil, if not, add more.
Stuff mixture tightly into center of artichokes - as tightly as possible.
In a large stove top pot (ie. Dutch Oven) add water half way up artichokes.
Artichokes should be firmly together in pan. Add salt and 1 1/2 cups of extra virgin olive oil to water.
Make certain water is high enough but not beyond half way. Bring water to a slow boil in covered pot. Baste leaves around stuffing with broth from the pan every 15 to 20 minutes for approximately 3 hours. When outside leaves are tender they're done.
Before removing from pan, baste stuffing one last time, then pack down stuffing with a fork.
Serve with a little bit of broth in bottom of bowl.
