1
Pull away the dark green outer leaves of the artichoke until you reach the yellow inner leaves.

Cut one to two inches off the top of the artichoke, eliminating all prickly parts.

With a sharp knife, cut away the fuzzy choke and any remaining little leaves.

Cut each half into thin slices and place in small bowl of water into which you have squeezed the lemon half.
6
Bring the chicken stock to a simmer on top of the stove.
7
Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a heavy skillet and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is soft.
8
Drain the artichoke slices, pat them dry and saute for two to three minutes.

Add the rice and saute, stirring for one to two minutes, making sure the grains are coated with the butter and oil.

Add the wine and stir it until it is absorbed.
