Prepping the Artichokes

2. Next, rinse the artichoke and open the petals by banging the artichoke down on a cutting board a couple times, petal side down.
3. Then, add the chopped garlic, Italian bread crumbs, Italian grated cheese, flaxseed meal, and olive oil to a bowl and mix.
4. Add, water slowly just to make the stuffing slightly damp. You may not use the whole amount.
5. Then make sure the leaves are open and start sprinkling the stuffing into the artichoke either by hand or with a small spoon, making sure that most leaves are stuffed.
