What is Walnut-stuffed artichoke?
Walnut-stuffed artichoke is a Turkish-style dish in which artichokes are filled with a walnut mixture and cooked, often with olive oil and lemon. It fits naturally into the Aegean tradition of olive-oil vegetable dishes, though home recipes and the exact filling can vary.
The tender, gently grassy artichoke balances the walnuts’ rich, earthy taste. It is commonly served cool or at room temperature as a meze or light meal; elsewhere, it also works well as a vegetable side or starter. The dish contributes fibre, with 5.6 g per 100 g, as well as fats from the walnuts. For a lighter version, use a measured amount of olive oil and serve it with a crisp salad.
