Ingredients
- 4 large artichokes

- 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the artichokes by removing the tough outer leaves and trimming the stems. Cut off the top third of each artichoke and use a spoon to scoop out the choke and any prickly inner leaves.
- In a bowl, mix together the ground lamb, rice, onion, tomatoes, parsley, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Stuff the artichokes with the lamb and rice mixture, pressing it firmly into the cavities.
- Place the stuffed artichokes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them halfway. Drizzle with additional olive oil and lemon juice.
- Cover the pot and cook the artichokes over medium heat for 1 hour, or until the artichokes are tender and the filling is cooked through.
- Serve the Ardishawki Mahshi hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
