   Rich and flavourful but very simple to prepare, stuffed artichokes
   make a good dinner party starter. They can be prepared well in
   advance and put into the oven at the last minute.
   
   Prepare 8 small artichokes as described above, cutting off at least a
   third of their tops.  Don't bother to remove the choke at this stage.
   Drop into boiling salted water and boil for I 0 minutes. Drain upside
   down in a colander.  When cool enough to handle, remove the coarser
   outside leaves and the central leaves and the choke, to make cups.
   
   Mix together 100 g of finely chopped ham, 100 g chopped cooked
   chicken, 2 tablespoons of cream (or use evaporated skim milk),
   chopped parsley, salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Stuff the
   artichoke cups with this mixture.
   
   Put the cups into an oiled baking dish, sprinkle with grated Parmesan
   cheese and bake in an oven preheated to 220C for about 15 minutes.
   Serve.
   
   Makes 4 servings.
