  Step 1

  I made a different recipe with the 'flowers' 'heads' of artichokes.. and I discovered recently tha the stems are as tasty ;)

  They just need to be peeled... like rubarbh.. I would say.. to make it more clear.. comprehensive..

• 

  Step 2

  Who doesn't know, the artichokes tend to go dark.. so it's necessary to put them in the water with lemon - cut the lemon into quarters and squeeze even the juice in the water so they keep nicely green :)
  I peeled them with a knife

• 

  Step 3

  Then cut them thinly - 0.5cm .. or 1/2 inch .. :)
  and return them into the lemon water..

• 

  Step 4

  Prepare the vegetable stock.. 1cube for 500ml ..

• 

  Step 5

  Heat the Extra Virgine Olive oil in your pan and add the chopped onion..

  Saute for a few minutes to become traluscent..

• 

  Step 6

  At that point add the sausage - crumble it into the onion .. and continue frying for a few minutes on a medium heat ..

• 

  Step 7

  When the sausage doesn't look raw anymore, add the drained sliced stems of artichokes and give it all a nice stir ...

• 

  Step 8

  After a few minutes add the white wine (optional) - 50ml or so...
  and let evaporate.. or cover for a few minutes..

• 

  Step 9

  Once the wine evaporated, add the rice 200 - 300 g (more than for two people ;)

  and keep stirring ... the rice will absorb the juices ..

• 

  Step 10

  After a few minutes you can add the vegetable stock - stir well and cover - it will cook faster ;) but lower the heat to minimum ..

• 

  Step 11

  IF you are a cheese lover like me .. then you can add some 'ends' of parmesan - literally the 'peel' ;)

  Cut it into small cubes-pieces and be sure it will get nicely soft and yummy in the end...

  Remember: NON SI BUTTA NIENTE :D (do not throw anything)

  Cover again with the lid and simmer till the stock will get absorbed and the rice is cooked .. al dente ... not hard.. not overcooked ..

• 

  Step 12

  At this final point you just turn off the heat.. let it sit for a few minutes with a spoon of grated parmesan..

  Serve in plates and sprinkle with more parmesan cheese over and BUON APPETTITO !!! :) :) :)

  Maybe some chopped parsley is fine too... ;)
