Be sure to squeeze a little lemon juice over your artichokes; it enhances the flavor and prevents discoloration, keeping the artichokes a vibrant green.

Ingredients

1 lemon, halved
6 whole artichokes
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

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.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, and parsley and season with pepper. Pull each leaf open slightly from each artichoke and stuff a little filling into the opening. Place the artichokes snugly side by side in a large pan with a tight-fitting lid. 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. Add more water if necessary.
Serve each artichoke hot, on an individual plate.
