Ingredients:


4 small artichokes

1 medium lemon -- juice of

6 cups chicken stock **

6 tablespoons butter -- unsalted

4 pounds garlic -- cloves, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper -- black, ground

1 tablespoon parsley -- chopped

1/2 cup peas -- fresh or frozen

1/2 cup cheese -- parmesan, grated

1/2 cup cheese -- pecorino, grated
 

Preparation / Directions:


Trim off all of the tough outer leaves from the artichokes. Cut off the tops of the artichokes, trim and peel the bottoms, leaving a little of the stem. Quarter the artichokes. (If using larger artichokes, scrape away the fuzzy choke.) Toss with lemon juice. Heat the chicken stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan. In a skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the artichokes, garlic, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Saute, tossing, for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked artichokes and garlic to the simmering stock. Add parsley and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Uncover, add peas and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Serve hot with grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese.
