Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 5
Clean the artichokes by removing the tougher outer leaves and cutting the tips. Slightly hollow out the center with a small knife and place them in acidulated water with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- STEP 2 OF 5
Drain the artichokes, gently open the center, and insert a cube of Pecorino delle Alture into each.
- STEP 3 OF 5
Place the artichokes in a baking dish, stem side up. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, add salt and pepper, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and pour water at the bottom of the dish.
- STEP 4 OF 5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated static oven at 180°C for 25 minutes. Uncover, increase to 200°C, and continue baking for another 10 minutes until golden and caramelized at the bottom.
- STEP 5 OF 5
Serve the artichokes hot, cutting them in half to reveal the melty Pecorino heart. Perfect as a refined main course or special side dish.
