Artichoke Stuffing
Use scissors to snip off sharp points of each artichoke leaf.
Combine lemon halves, chopped onion, water, wine, bay leaf and peppercorns in a stock pot.
Bring to a boil.
Add artichokes. Simmer until artichokes are tender, about 10 - 15 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and allow artichokes to cool in stock.
Stuffing
Melt butter in a medium saucepan.
Add remaining onions and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and let cool.
Cut cooled artichokes in half, lengthwise, exposing inner leaves.
Scoop out center prickly leaves with a teaspoon, leaving the choke (heart) intact.
Place stuffing in the hollowed-out artichoke.
Top with cheeses.
Place in oven and bake at 350ºF until center is hot, about 20 minutes.
