Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Trim the stem of an artichoke so the base is flat and even. Trim the top inch off the artichoke and remove and discard any tough, woody outer leaves. Gently open up the leaves to get to the center. Using a spoon, scoop out the fuzzy choke in the center. Using scissors, trim off the sharp points of the large outer leaves. Rub and pour lemon juice all over the inside and outside (reserve half of the juice). Repeat with remaining artichokes. Mix together pulverized crackers, Pecorino, olive oil, parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic, lemon zest and salt and pepper. Pack each artichoke with the stuffing mixture, starting with the interior and working your way around between the outer leaves. Continue this process with the remaining artichokes. Place artichokes in an 8-inch square baking dish and add about 1 inch of chicken stock and the reserved lemon juice to the bottom of the dish. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until leaves pull out easily and the meat at the bottom of the leaves is tender, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Preheat the broiler. Take off foil, drizzle the artichokes with olive oil and broil until tops are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve!

Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute until tender. Add the garlic and pine nuts and saute for another minute or so. Stir in the meat, breaking it up with a fork. Cook it, stirring until it has lost its redness. Add the dill, oregano, cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the vermouth and tomato paste and cook for five minutes. Remove from heat, stir in three tablespoons of the cheese and set aside. For the sauce, melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook for several minutes. Add the milk, stirring constantly with a whisk, and continue to cook over medium heat until the sauce is thick and smooth. Season with nutmeg and salt to taste. Set the artichokes upright and gently spread the leaves away from the center. Using a tablespoon scoop out the center cluster of leaves and scrape away all the fuzzy ‘‘choke’’ beneath them. Do not scrape away any of the fleshy bottom. Each artichoke should have a fairly large center cavity. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush the outside of the artichokes with the remaining olive oil and arrange them in an oiled baking dish. Spoon a little of the sauce into each artichoke and then fill each almost to the top with the meat mixture. Spoon the rest of the sauce on to the top of each artichoke and sprinkle each with remaining cheese. Bake until the topping is lightly brown, about 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, anchovy, chile flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large bowl. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon into the bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lemon in a small bowl with the oil, then drizzle the lemon juice mixture into the breadcrumb mixture and mix with a fork until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Stir in the Parmesan and set aside until ready to use. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon and drop in the lemon halves. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, cut off all but 1/2-inch of the stem. Use a serrated knife to slice about 1 inch off of the top. Use kitchen shears to trim the point off each leaf, removing 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use your fingers to gently pull open the center leaves of the artichoke then use a spoon to scoop out and discard the fuzzy choke in the middle. (Note that removing the choke takes some effort and will make eating the final product much more enjoyable.) Submerge the cleaned artichoke in the lemon water to prevent browning and repeat with the remaining artichokes. Working with one artichoke at a time, remove from the water and use a clean kitchen towel to pat dry. Gently pull apart the leaves on each layer and stuff with the breadcrumbs over the bowl to avoid a mess, pressing lightly as you stuff (you will use about 2/3 cup stuffing per artichoke). Gently set the stuffed artichoke in a 9-by-9-inch casserole dish (do not use glass) or a large cast-iron skillet, standing it up on the flat stem if possible, or gently resting on the side if not. Note that you will want the artichokes to be snug in the dish to remain upright during baking. Repeat with the remaining artichokes and breadcrumbs. Pour the wine and 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the pan. Slice the remaining lemon into rounds and nestle them into the liquid. Tightly cover the dish with foil and bake until the artichokes leaves are tender and can be easily pulled off, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and increase the temperature to 500 degrees F. Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the artichokes from the dish with tongs and place onto a serving plate. Serve with the cooking liquid lemon slices.
