I have wonderful memories of learning this recipe many years ago from my husband's Italian family. I just serve with crusty bread and softened butter for a impressive meal!

    Mix first 8 ingredients well.

    Stuff 4 sticks of cheese around the sides of the meat.

    Put the artichokes in a deep pot and add water, salt and olive oil. The water should come half way up the chokes. Cover and simmer at least 45 min. till meat is done and the chokes are tender. I also cook mine in my electric pressure cooker for 25 min. and they taste wonderful!
