In the mood for an artichoke salad?

Method

Cut the stems of the artichokes (leave 2 cm in place).
Remove the hardest leaves then peel around the bottom and cut the top of the artichokes leaves so only the softest parts remain. Cut the artichokes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Rub them with lemon to maintain their color, then put them in cold water with some lemon juice.
Cook the bacon in a preheated frying pan, then set it aside.
In the same pan (without removing the fat from the bacon), add a drizzle of olive oil and the drained artichokes. Sear the artichokes, then add and sweat the chopped shallots.
Add the white wine, cover the pan, and reduce until dry.
Add 10 cl (2/5 cup) of white stock, cook covered for 5 minutes, then remove the lid. Season as needed. Add the bacon a few minutes before the end of the cooking with some parsley leaves.
Use a peeler to add some shavings of Parmesan cheese before serving.
