Ingredients:
8 Fresh artichokes in season, two table spoons
of bread crumbs, two table spoons pecorino cheese,
two cloves of garlic, one table spoon of chopped
parsley, oil, salt, lemon juice and, a handy jug
of water.
Procedure:
Peel the outer and harder leaves of the artichokes.
Soak them for about ten minutes in water and lemon
juice.
In the meantime, chop the garlic and parsley and
grate the pecorino cheese and mix the ingredients
together with the breadcrumbs, binding it with
some oil and a sprinkle of salt.
Remove the artichokes from the water and allow
them to dry, i.e., fan the leaves open to allow
the water to drain then stuff the artichokes with
the stuffing.
Place the artichokes in an oven dish and arrange
them in a way that they are upright. Cover the
bottom with three cm of water a drizzle of oil
and a sprinkle of salt.

minutes or until tender.
