Ingredients
- 400g round cob loaf
- 2 x 390g tins artichoke hearts, drained
- 140g light mayonnaise
- 140g Parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated
- two pinches of garlic salt
- small bunch chives, finely chopped
- extra crusty bread chunks, crackers or crunchy tortillas, to serve
Method
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Slice the top off and hollow out the loaf. Break the artichoke hearts into chunks, place in a bowl with the mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic salt and a good grinding of black pepper, then mix well.
Fill the hollowed-out loaf with the artichoke mixture. Pop the lid back on, wrap the loaf in foil, then bake for 20 mins. Remove the foil and give the mixture a stir, then rewrap and return to the oven for a further 45-50 mins or until the filling is piping hot.
Remove from the oven, scatter over the chives and dive in.
