Method

Clean the artichokes, removing the hardest leaves, reduce them into wedges, rinse them, arrange them in a bowl, cover with water, add the lemon juice and keep for fifteen minutes. Peel the shallot, cut it into slices, dry it in a saucepan with half the butter and a drizzle of oil, arrange the drained artichokes, brown them for a few minutes, blend with the wine, season with a pinch of salt, add the rice, let it toast and cook for 18 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon and occasionally wetting with a ladle of boiling broth. When cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the rice with the remaining softened butter and Parmesan, and serve it on a serving dish with a pinch of pepper.
