The most common street food in Turkey is the simit, a favourite snack of people all walks of life. Simit can be eaten either plain or with cheese. The simit seller carrying the rings piled up on a tray on his head could always be found at hand vending Turkey's first fast food.

Preparation

Cut the stalks off the artichokes from the base. Trim the outer leaves with a sharp knife, leaving 2 layers. Rub vut surfaces with salt and lemon. Scrabe away hairs inside with a spoon and rub with lemon and salt. Wash and put them in the liquid mix. Shell the beans. Saute finely chopped onions rings with oil in a saucepan. Add artichokes, salt, beans and water. Cover with a lid. Sprinkle on dill, when partially cooked. Continue cooking till the artichokes are tender. Let cool in the saucepan. Place artichokes on a plate and fill beans into the artichokes. Serve cold. Hmm delicious!!!
