ARTICHOKES IN THE SICILIAN WAY

Artichokes in the Sicilian way are a typical recipe of Italian cuisine. Simple to prepare and tasty. My wife made me discover them, I admit, but I liked them very much. It is a typical recipe of Mediterranean cuisine.

DIFFICULTY : EASY

ingredients for 4 people
8 artichokes
 1 clove of garlic
 50 g of Sicilian pecorino
 100 g of grated bread
 1 lemon
 1 sprig of parsley
extra virgin olive oil
black pepper
salt

METHOD
Clean the artichokes, remove the toes and the hardest leaves. Wash the artichokes with water and lemon juice.

Open the leaves of the artichokes with your hands, leaving them attached to the base.

In a bowl mix the breadcrumbs, the extra virgin olive oil, the garlic clove and the chopped parsley, the grated Sicilian pecorino, the pepper and the salt.

With your hands put the dough between one leaf and another, filling the bottom of the artichokes well. Cook in a pan with a little water for about an hour adding water a little at a time.

At the end of cooking, Sicilian artichokes can be eaten cold, and I assure you that one leaf ... leads to another.
