Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lemons
8 baby artichokes, trimmed
Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Squeeze juice from 1 lemon into a large bowl of ice water. Slice artichoke hearts and bottoms, if tender enough, as thinly as possible, adding them to the ice water as you slice.
  • Thinly slice Parmesan so that you have about as many slices of cheese as you do artichoke slices. Zest and juice remaining lemon; set aside.
  • Remove artichoke slices from water and pat dry. Toss with olive oil and juice from remaining lemon; season with salt and pepper. Layer artichoke slices on a platter with Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with reserved lemon zest and herbs; serve immediately.
