  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Put the zest of 1 yellow lemon in a small bowl. In another large bowl with water, add the juice of that lemon.
  • Cut the stems off the artichokes. Also, use scissors to trim the tops of the leaves so they look like the photo.
  • Gently open the leaves of the artichokes to create space for stuffing.
  • Carefully scoop out the center with a spoon (removing the spiny part). Allow them to soak in the lemon water mixture.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cheeses, olive oil, parsley, oregano, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the artichokes (now dry) with 1/4 of the breadcrumb mixture and fill between the leaves.
  • In a Pyrex dish, add 1/2 cup of water and place the artichokes on top.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil on top.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and cook until the hearts are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove the aluminum foil and cook again until the breadcrumbs are golden, about 10 additional minutes.
  • Slice the lemon and serve on the side.
