Here's how to make it: 

1. Cut stem off the artichoke and trim off the top. Cut away first outside row of artichoke leaves. Place the artichoke in a steamer and cook for 25 minutes. Steam artichoke until knife pierces base easily. 
2. In a large pot, add butter and garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the artichoke, wine and lemon juice. Cook for another 3 minutes.
3. Add parsley, crushed red pepper and thyme. Cover with lid and cook for 5 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add cooked farro.
