The ingredients for Artichokes - stuffed and steamed are:

2 Tbsp Olive oil
3 large, globe artichokes
3 slices of day-old italian bread (vegan bread for vegans)
1 stale dinner roll or whatever white bread you have stale
2 cloves garlic
oregano
italian seasoning
salt & peper (optional)

Here is how you make Artichokes - stuffed and steamed:

Cut off the last 1/2 inch of stem. Cut off the top1/2 inch of the artichoke. Trim the leaves that weren't trimmed when you cut the top off with sissors (cut off the top 1/2 inch of each leaf ).Make fresh bread crumbs from the day old bread and the stale bread. I use the food chopper/grinder/processor thing, but however you do it is fine. Whatever kind of bread you use, 3 parts day old or fresh bread to one part stale bread. I tried fresh bread crumbs after some TV cooking show suggested using fresh in place of dried bread crumbs and I agree -- much lighter, less calories, less dried out.Add to the bread crums two cloves of garlic through a garlic press or diced very small. 1 tsp (more or less to taste) oregano, a few shakes of your favorite italian seasoning mix and pepper and salt to taste (I don't add much pepper and salt at all).Divide the crumbs up into three parts. Stuff each artichoke by gently pulling the leaves away and pouring a little crumbs onto it. The crumbs should generally end up near the bottom of the leaves, throughout the artichoke. Nothing much right in the middle of the artichoke. When you've used up all the crumbs, drizzle the oil evenly over the top of the three artichokes. Steam them for an hour to two hours, depending upon how tough the artichokes are, how tight your lid is, how high your heat is Don't let the pot dry out. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the water directly onto the artichokes every half hour or so. I usually do this on the stove top, but I've been in kitchens where I didn't have an appropriate pot for steaming and I cooked them in the oven. Serve hot . Eat by scraping the bread crumbs along with the tender bottom of the leaf with your bottom teeth. When you get down to the center, clean out fuzzy stuff and enjoy the heart.Each serving is one artichoke. You might want to serve them in halves.
