method
1. Trim the artichokes and discard the tough outer leaves, the stems and the furry chokes (if any).
2. Drop them into a bowl of water acidulated with the lemon juice, to prevent discolouration.
3. Drain, open the leaves slightly and fill with the garlic, parsley, a little salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon of the oil.
4. Pour the remaining oil into a deep saucepan and arrange the artichokes tightly together in one layer in the pan.
5. Pour in a couple of tablespoons of water, cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for about 15 minutes, adding more water if necessary to keep the cooking juices moist.
6. Arrange the artichokes on a platter and serve.
