Cut the stem off the artichokes and trim the top point.

Place artichokes in a pot, cover with water, and add lemon juice and salt.

Simmer the artichokes for 30 minutes until cooked.

Drain the artichokes upside down in a strainer to remove excess water.

Prepare the stuffing by mixing breadcrumbs, chopped mushrooms, pecorino romano cheese, and fresh parsley.

Drizzle olive oil into the stuffing mixture and combine until well mixed.

Gently spread the artichoke leaves apart and stuff them with the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring some stuffing gets into each petal.

Place the stuffed artichokes in a large baking dish.

Bake the stuffed artichokes in the oven until golden brown.
