Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms with Artichoke Pesto

Artichoke Heart Pesto 

Ingredients: 

7 artichoke hearts 

3 lemons

2 cloves of garlic

olive oil  

salt and pepper 

Directions (this REALLY couldn’t be easier!) 

Squeeze the juice of three lemons into a saucepan

Add the artichokes to the lemon juice and steam for 1 hour on the lowest heat setting until the artichokes are soft

Throw the artichokes and lemon juice in a food processor with the garlic cloves and a pinch of salt and pepper (or wait for them to cool and chop all ingredients finely if you don’t have a food processor) 

Add olive oil to achieve the consistency you love in your pesto 

After you've finished this, use this recipe as a dip for fresh breads, over meats or on your favorite pasta dish!
