Artichoke bottom with broad beans is a Turkish-style dish of tender artichoke hearts cooked with fresh broad beans, onion and olive oil. It is especially associated with Aegean home cooking, where spring vegetables are often served in the olive-oil style. Lemon adds brightness, and the dish is usually brought to the table cool or at room temperature.
The artichoke is mild and slightly herbal, while the beans make each serving more substantial; dill is a familiar finishing touch. In Turkey it is served as a meze or a light lunch or supper, often alongside other vegetable dishes. Its fibre and legumes give it a satisfying, plant-forward character. Pair it with bread or a simple salad, or use a lighter hand with the oil if you want a less rich result.
