Eccomiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! But how many months are in hiding? I almost feel embarrassed now, I hope I do not want to but I changed jobs and I still have to get used to new rhythms. When, around 19:00, returning home the idea terrifies me to get back to your computer! This week, however, the influence he had the upper hand and forced me to bed, then, what better time to try a bit of company in their own passions? This dish I've prepared a little feverish, but so quietly, in silence and with the desire to get as close as possible to the original: by mom stuffed artichokes with peas. I won the challenge! They were really good! Try to believe!
 

Ingredients:
5 large artichokes
300 g peas
bread crumbs 2
2 fists pecorino romano
a small bunch parsley
a clove of garlic
1 egg
1 medium onion
oil to taste
salt to taste
 

Procedure:
Clean the artichokes by depriving them of the tough outer leaves and cutting the tips. Also cut the stems of the artichokes so that they can remain "standing" in the pot. Clean the artichokes with the stems and dip them in water and lemon juice so they do not blacken.
Prepare the filling by whisking the 2 sandwiches crumbs, parsley, a clove of garlic, pecorino romano. Fill the artichokes with the mixture thus obtained gently spreading leaves and trying to introduce more filling can, beat an egg with a spoon and pour over the artichokes until the crumbs will not be very wet. Finely chop the onion and sauté in a pan with oil, add the peas and the stems of the artichokes, let them dry, add 2 cups of water and salt. After 5 minutes to introduce the artichokes in the pot trying to get them to stand. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
