Stuffed Artichokes

Ingredients:
4 artichokes
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup olive oil (more if needed for consistency)
1/2 cup water
A pinch of salt and pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon each)

Procedures:
Cut pointy tops off artichokes with a knife and then open them with a knife as far as you can. Clean the inside and outside of the artichokes.

Mix all other ingredients together.

Stuff mixture into the artichokes.

Put artichokes in a 3 or 4 quart pot filled 3/4 way with water and let cook on the stove for 1 hour (covered) or until leaves are soft to eat.
