What is Rice pilaf with fava beans and artichoke?
Rice pilaf with fava beans and artichoke is a Turkish-style spring pilaf, made by cooking rice with tender fava beans and artichoke. Home versions often start with onion and olive oil, and may include fresh herbs such as dill or spring onion. The vegetables give the rice a softer, more rounded character than a plain pilaf.
Serve it warm or at room temperature as a side dish, or make it the centre of a light meal with salad and yoghurt. It is a carbohydrate-led dish, with the vegetables adding fibre and some plant protein. For a lighter plate, keep the oil modest and pair it with fresh greens; it also works well alongside grilled vegetables or a simple legume dish.
