Step by Step guide

Step 1

Trim the base of the artichoke, remove the outer leaves. Extract the inner stems and drizzle with the juice of half a lemon. Then cut into sticks about 4 cm long. Divide the heart into 4 parts. Place everything together in a large bowl with water and the juice of half a lemon. Next, mix a tablespoon of flour with water, pour the mixture into a pot, add water and a pinch of salt. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Immerse the artichokes in the pot and cook on low heat for 1 to 1.5 hours until they become tender. Drain the water.

Step 2

Preheat the grill. Pour oil into a baking dish, place the artichokes inside, sprinkle with grated cheese and pieces of butter. Cook under the grill for 5 minutes until a golden crust appears. Serve immediately in the same dish.
