       Title: CARCIOFI ALLA GIUDIA (“GIUDIA” STYLE ARTICHOKES)
  Categories: Vegetables, Italian
       Yield: 4 servings
  
       8 lg Fresh artichokes, sized
       1    Lemon
            Salt
            Fresh ground black pepper
            Extra virgin olive oil
            Parsley, fresh, chopped
  
   Snap off the artichoke stems, remove any tough or blemished petals, then
   snip off prickly tips. Place artichokes in boiling water with lemon juice
   and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove, pat dry and sprinkle insides with
   salt.
   Set artichokes stem-down in a deep stainless-steel kettle just large enough
   to hold them snugly. Add enough oil to reach halfway up the artichokes.
   Bake uncovered in an oven preheated to 200C (400F) for 10 to 20 minutes
   (time depends upon the qualify of the artichokes). When cooked, discard
   most of the oil and season generously with pepper and parsley. Serve
   immediately.
