Stuffed Artichokes with Capers and Pecorino Cheese

These stuffed artichokes with capers and pecorino cheese make a sophisticated vegetarian starter or a light main course. The earthy flavour of the artichoke is perfectly complemented by a savoury, textured filling of fresh breadcrumbs, aromatic fennel seeds and fragrant thyme. Slow-roasting them in a pool of white wine and stock ensures the hearts become tender and succulent, while the salty punch of the capers and sheep's cheese provides a wonderful seasoning.

Preparing fresh artichokes might seem intricate, but the results are incredibly rewarding for any home cook. This dish is ideal for sharing with friends as part of a Mediterranean-style feast, perhaps alongside some crusty bread to soak up the flavourful cooking juices. Naturally high in fibre, this heart-healthy vegetable provides a nutritious yet indulgent-tasting addition to your recipe repertoire.

Preheat oven to 204°C. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until soft, about 6 minutes. Add next 3 ingredients; stir 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl; cool. Stir in breadcrumbs, 30g cheese, and capers. Season stuffing with salt and pepper.

Spoon 2 scant tablespoons bread stuffing into centre of each prepared artichoke. Starting with bottom leaves of artichokes, gently pull each leaf outward from centre and spoon in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon stuffing. Arrange artichokes in 13x9x2- inch glass baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with 60ml cheese. Pour wine and broth into dish.
