Practical Olive Oil Artichoke Meal

Hello Dear Friends,

We don't come across much in Istanbul, but the baby artichoke is one of the most delicious things in the world. Mini mini fresh leaves and inner leaves not yet thorn. In the last 1-2 days, I have come across a lot in Spain, so I changed the recipe that I thought to share and decided on this practical and delicious recipe.

After all, I write my blog for myself as well as for you :) Every recipe is a memory for me.

One of the first things that come to mind when talking about Spain is tapas, and when I tasted the wonderful tapas with artichoke hearts and kalamata olives in Madrid, I thought of our delicious artichokes with olive oil. I can't wait to go back to Istanbul and cook again :)

I bought my artichokes from Alaçatı and brought them to Istanbul, but I'm glad I did. They don't have to be as small as in the photo below, but they should be as small and fresh as possible. Thus, you only need to clean the leaves in 1, maximum 2 rows from the outside, divide them into two parts and clean the purple leaves and fine hairs, if any.

The taste of artichokes cooked with leaves, just like stuffed artichokes with olive oil or stuffed artichokes with meat, is really different.

In the post I wrote, I talked about 2 different countries and 3 different cities, but I finally finished it :) Artichoke, what are you up to :)

Remember, you can also make the same recipe with peeled artichokes. You can even reduce the amount of water

Love…
