Carciofi Bolliti (boiled Artichokes Italian Style)

Have ready a basin of acidulated water. Take 4 large artichokes or 8 small ones and prepare them as described above, cutting them into quarters and dropping them into the basin as they are done. Pack the artichoke quarters in a single layer into a open pan. Pour over them enough boiling water to barely cover the artichokes, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and some roughly crushed peppercorns. Boil hard until the water has evaporated, then add the juice of a lemon and stir.

Put the artichokes into a serving dish and scatter with chopped parsley. They can be served hot or cold.
