Ingredients
  • 4 cups water
  • Juice of 2 lemons, divided
  • 2 pounds baby artichokes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the water and the juice of 1 lemon. Working with one artichoke at a time, trim ¼ inch off the stem and a ¼ inch off the top, then snap off any tough outer leaves to reveal the pale yellow inner leaves. Using a vegetable peeler, peel away the tough outer layer of the stem and put in the lemon water to prevent it from browning.
  2. Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, cut the artichokes into thin slices and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the remaining lemon juice and olive oil and toss gently. Season with salt. Divide the artichokes among 4 plates and garnish with the Parmesan.
