Can you make spring rice with artichoke using canned artichokes?

How should you prepare fresh artichokes for spring rice with artichoke?

When should you add artichokes to spring rice with artichoke?
Add fresh artichoke pieces early enough to become tender as the rice cooks, but handle the pilaf gently so they keep their shape. If using cooked or canned artichokes, stir them in near the end because they need less cooking.

What is Spring rice with artichoke?
Spring rice with artichoke is a Turkish-style pilaf made with rice, artichoke and spring vegetables. The exact mix can vary with the season and what is on hand, and fresh herbs are a natural addition. Artichoke brings a gently earthy, vegetal flavour, while the rice cooks up tender and fluffy.
In Turkey, it fits a seasonal home-cooked meal, served warm alongside other vegetable dishes or as a light main with salad. Elsewhere, it also works as a simple side for grilled vegetables or fish. The rice makes it chiefly a source of carbohydrates, while the artichoke and vegetables contribute fibre. For a lighter serving, use oil sparingly and add a generous salad.
