Remove the stems and the tougher outer leaves from the artichokes, cut them two-thirds of the way up to remove the thorns, and immerse them in a bowl filled with water acidulated with a tablespoon of vinegar
Clean the carrot and cut it into slices; wash the lemons and slice them
Place the broth, two tablespoons of olive oil, lemon and carrot slices, a sprig of thyme, the necessary salt, and a grind of pepper in a baking dish
Let the carrot soften 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 has evaporated
At this point, remove the artichokes from the baking dish and, using a teaspoon, scoop them out to remove the choke inside
Put the vegetables back in the baking dish, leaving the carrot and lemon at the bottom, open them slightly, and place them under the grill in the oven for 5-6 minutes or until they are well browned
In a bowl, mix the remaining oil and vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper, distribute this dressing over the artichokes just removed from the oven, and serve immediately
