Heat an enormous pot of water to the point of boiling. Strip the coarse filaments from the artichoke stems. Eliminate the intense, base leaves, and afterward cut 1-inch off the highest point of every artichoke. With scissors, clip off the thorny highest points of the leftover side leaves.
Drop the artichokes into the bubbling water, and bubble them delicately until the bottoms of the stifles are delicate when penetrated with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Eliminate the artichokes from the water and flip around them on a huge plate to deplete.
While the artichokes are cooking, set up the scraps. Tear each cut of bread into 5 or 6 pieces and put them in a blender or food processor. Note that each cut of bread makes roughly 1/4 cup when disintegrated. Mix a couple of moments until you have pieces. Spread the pieces on a baking sheet and dry them in a 250ºF stove until daintily brilliant, around 15 minutes.
Throw together the scraps, garlic, salt, olive oil and pecans in a bowl to blend well. Utilizing your fingers, separate the artichoke leaves so they open up a bit. Spoon a modest quantity (around 1 teaspoon) of stuffing between the leaves until it is totally spent. Serve warm or chilled.
