Remove some of the bottom tough outer leaves and cut the bottom of the artichoke close so it creates a nice base. Pull away the center leaves and try as best as you can to scrape out the choke (the fuzzy hairy inside ) which is right on top of the artichoke heart.
Steam the artichoke for 35-40 minutes until the leaves are tender and they are easy to peel off.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place artichokes on a plate and let cool then using a sharp knife, cut off at least 1 inch of the tops.
Place the artichokes standing upright in an oven safe baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Using a spoon add the mixture in between all of the leaves and in the center.
Place artichokes in the oven for 15 minutes until the breadcrumb mixture is browned.
Remove artichokes from the oven, drizzle olive oil over them and squeeze the ½ lemon over both.
To eat, remove each leaf and scape the artichoke heart with your teeth and then eat the artichoke heart. ENJOY!
