Ingredients

  •  optional: lemon halved
  •  artichokes whole
  • 0.8 cup breadcrumbs fresh
  • 0.5 cup pecorino cheese grated
  • small garlic clove minced
  • tablespoons parsley fresh chopped
  • serving pepper black freshly ground

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • knife
  • pot

Directions

  1. Squeeze the lemon halves into a large bowl and fill the bowl with cold water. Trim the bottom off each artichoke. Trim off the tough outer leaves. Snip the thorny tips off the top leaves. As each one is completed, place it in the lemon water to prevent it from discoloring.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, and parsley and season with pepper.
  3. Pull each leaf open slightly from each artichoke and stuff a little filling into the opening.
  4. Place the artichokes snugly side by side in a large pan with a tight-fitting lid, and top each one off with a drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Add 1 inch of water to the pot. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and steam until the bottoms of the artichokes are tender, 35 to 45 minutes; a knife should insert easily. Make sure the water doesn't boil dry.
  6. Add more water if necessary.
  7. Serve each artichoke hot, on an individual plate.
