  • Step 1
    Soak the artichokes in a bowl of water mixed with the lemon juice.

    Divide the mixture into 4 portions. Fill in between the artichoke leaves and in the center. Place stuffed artichokes in pot filled with 1 litre of water.
  • Step 5
    Drizzle the artichokes with the olive oil.
  • Step 6
    Cook, covered, over low-moderate heat for about 45 minutes or until leaves come away freely.
  • Step 7
    Drain and serve.
