Rice pilaf with artichoke stems is a home-style pilaf that combines rice with finely cut, tenderised artichoke stems. The stems bring a mild, distinctive flavour to the aromatic base typical of pilaf; recipes may also include onion and herbs, with details varying from kitchen to kitchen. It’s a seasonal way to make use of the stems as well as the artichoke hearts.
In Turkey, it can be served alongside a main dish or as a meat-free meal, especially when artichokes are in season. Its soft texture and gentle flavour pair well with yoghurt or a crisp salad. Rice provides most of the energy as carbohydrate, while artichoke stems contribute some fibre and plant nutrients. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and serve it with plenty of vegetables.
