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.
