Remove the stems and the outer hardest leaves from the artichokes, cut them two-thirds high to eliminate the thorns, and plunge them into a bowl filled with water acidulated with a tablespoon of vinegar.
Peel the carrot and cut it into rounds; wash the lemons and slice them.
Place broth, two tablespoons of olive oil, lemon and carrot slices, a sprig of thyme, necessary salt, and a grind of pepper in a baking dish.
Sauté the carrot over low heat for 5-6 minutes, then add the artichokes and let them cook over moderate heat for about half an hour or until the broth is consumed.
At this point, remove the artichokes from the baking dish and using a teaspoon, hollow them out to remove the fibrous choke inside.
Put the vegetables back in the baking dish, leaving the carrot and lemon at the bottom, slightly open them, and pass them in the oven under the grill for 5-6 minutes or until they are nicely browned.
In a bowl, mix the remaining oil and vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper; drizzle this dressing over the artichokes just taken out of the oven and serve immediately.
