Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large fresh artichokes
1 fresh lemon, cut into wedges
8 ounces pecorino Romano cheese, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Cut the stems and the tops off each artichoke. Wiggle the artichoke back and forth with your thumbs to open the leaves. Snap off and discard the tough outer leaves.
  • Place lemon wedges in a large bowl of water. Soak artichokes for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the artichokes from the water and shake off excess water. Insert slices of pecorino Romano cheese between the artichoke leaves. Place a garlic clove into the centre of each artichoke.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Arrange artichokes upright in the steamer. Drizzle olive oil over the artichokes and water; add salt. Bring water to a boil. Cook artichokes until the cheese in the centre has melted and you can easily pull an outer leaf away, about 1 hour.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my artichokes turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them.

The artichokes were a bit too salty for my taste, but overall they were still good.

The artichokes were a bit bland. I think I would add more spices to the filling next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the artichokes turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more garlic to the filling.
