Serves: 4
Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Total: 55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 large artichokes
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • ½ red pepper, diced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ½ cup parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut tops off artichoke leaves and peel back leaves to reveal the purple “choke” inside – use a grapefruit spoon (or other sharp spoon with ridges) to carefully scrape out and remove.


2. Meanwhile, brown ground beef for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add garlic, red onion and red pepper, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until tender.

3. Cut cauliflower into small florets. Using a food processor, pulse cauliflower into a rice-like texture. Add to skillet with ground beef mixture and remove from heat. Set aside.

4. Add ground beef mixture to stuff each artichoke, drizzling with olive oil and then topping with parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.

5. Remove from oven and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
