ARTICHOKE a La Turca

 

In Turkish Cuisine there are a variety of vegetables that are cooked in olive oil and called Zeytinyağlı Kereviz. They are served as appetizers (meze) for buffet tables. Also, served at room temperature as a second course or as a side dish.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Place olive oil in a saucepan, add onion over medium low heat, add salt and sugar sauté until transparent 
  • Add carrot and parsnips, sauté five minutes and place them in a bowl, add fresh dill 
  • If you’re using fresh artichoke hearts, at this point put them in the same saucepan and place the mixture in and around each one, add 2 cups hot water and lemon juice, cover with the lid and cook until artichoke hearts are tender, add peas and remove from the heat 
  • If using the canned or frozen artichoke hearts follow the same instructions except add only 1 cup hot water and cook until the water is absorbed, add peas, remove from the heat and cook in the saucepan 
  • Arrange artichoke in a serving platter and fill the hearts with the mixture, decorate with fresh dill. Serve at room temperature. 

*For this recipe you can substitute parsnips with a small diced potato and whole artichoke hearts with the cut up frozen artichokes.
