We, Russians use tonnes and tonnes of raw onions for cooking. My friend married an Italian man, he was joking that for a few weeks for cooking she used all his half year stock of onions at home. Love Turkish food and in the South of Russia we have got a huge Turkish influence in the food preparation... Thanks for your recipes.
From Michigan. . . I put onions in everything! Even in my Savory oatmeal. My mother told me that when I was less than a year old my uncle thought it would be funny to give me an onion. I sat in my high chair and ate the whole thing with tears running down my cheeks. And I've never stopped loving them. Love your Channel!
We Hungarians also use tons of onions. Then comes paprika powder and you have a Pörkölt (=roasted) base for any meat ot vegetable. Congratulations on your book available at MOMA, such a big thing! Also well deserved. Lots of love from Hungary! 🥂🥰
Those are some huge artichokes I live in California and have seen some that big. I am addicted to your videos I just love ❤️ everything you cook and you explain every steps I love it. Thank you so much
Ah... zeytinyağlı enginar. I fell in love with Istanbul last year, and with this dish. I found the best to be at Akın, at the end of the bridge in a shady area, but the restaurant has a lot of character. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for this awesome video!
Loved Turkish food. Refika you are adorable w/ a great sense of humor. Makes the video recepie exited. Congratulations.🇹🇷 I'm your next suscriber. Regards from California USA 🇺🇸
I have been following you and enjoying your fabulous recipes. Cheers from Toronto 🇨🇦 Your artichoke recipe is the classic version from Turkey. The fresh markets of Istanbul are filled with vendors selling ready to cook artichokes. Here we have to purchase our artichokes with the peel, and spend hours in peeling the tough leaves, cleaning the centre (hair) with a spoon, and making sure we place the heart in a bowl filled with lemon juice. BUT it’s worth the effort. A regal addition to your dinner table.
rifiqa in pakistan almost all dishes rice recipes use lot of onions and use to eat in salad too loly turkish pakistani have same habbits to eat onions mashalah
Refika, your channel is a luxury! Not only are you a great cook but a great teacher. You seem to have a sparkling personality, too, and it comes through the screen. I'm binge-watching your videos and already feel the need to rush to the spice shop and then cook a Turkish dish. Thank you very much to you and your team for your effort in making these videos.
How did I miss this recipe... that looks so amazing. And yes, a balsamic vinegar blended in with the olive oil🫒 would give it a lovely caramelized flavor.
Recently subbed. LOVE your channel. Have never tried Turkish food but looks amazing. I am in Oklahoma USA so alot things we dont have here. Because so rural its hard to even get spices. No specialty food stores. Lots of beef and potatoes😀 Never find seafood except frozen😢 I "eat" by watching shows like yours! Great job!
Ooo! I like that you all have peas and carrots with the potatoes mixed in too. Here in the U.S., we have peas and carrots or peas, carrots, green beans, possibly with a little corn, but not with potatoes. How convenient. I love these little cultural tidbits! Wait, you have a book, Refika?! What is it?
I just love your energy, your videos are growing on me lol. Thanks for explaining the science with the food, pressure cooking, and how to get the benefits from lemon water etc, i'm learning so much. This dish reminds me of the similar one my dad makes with leeks, artichokes are not readily available here, Ontario Canada
Love ur energy, ur recipes. Any options for folks like me who don’t have a pressure cooker? Indian cooking uses onion in everything & they use the pink one which is a little spicier in taste & they too use it raw as garnish!
Started watching your videos few days back only as accidentally got to see you preparing wonderful recipes. Although I'm a vegetarian but still enjoy watching your non veg recipes. Honestly I like your lively nature so much. Love from India
2:53 my Turkish father (Gd bless his soul) used to say this! Do not be afraid of the olive oil! Only when you are afraid will you get burned! Tesekular, Sarika
Loved this video. You truly look like you are having fun! Also love artichokes. Visited Istanbul 5 years ago on a cruise. What an absolutely incredible city. Would love to go back some day
We're big on onions here in the Czech Republic. Virtually every savory dish starts with onions, garlic or both. We use raw onions in many dishes and our onions are really sharp. For example the Vidalia onions in the US are amazingly mild. For us, even white and red onions are still sharp.
"As Turkish people we use the most onions in the world". The French and Greeks are going to have something to say about that. And thank you for sharing your MOMA experience, Refika, that sounds totally cool. Regards always.
I use more onions. For a dish of rice and meat, I use 6 large onions cooked with olive oil until clear. I also use lots of olive oil as a condiment and squeeze a bit of lemon in my water.
I use onions in almost everything I cook so I'm already on a good footing to enjoy Turkish food. And everything you make always looks amazing, I wish it was possible to step through the screen and taste it with you! I dont think artichokes are available much around me but I'll save this recipe for when I find some 😁
Hey Refika love the recipe & yes people in India use onions in almost all their dishes and raw onion is used in salads too. Though must say we have equally tasty dishes without onion & garlic too. Yes you heard it right💁♀️Love from India
This looks absolutely delicious, also something that would have an inflated price in a good restaurant. Best to make it at home, s thank you for instructing us!
I'm absolutely loving your videos, love Turkish cuisine and your way of explaining recipes is phenomenonal 👍 have one request though, please do the recipe on how to make pide and its fillings..all the love from Melbourne Australia ❤🇦🇺
Lov ur cooking refika...we Pakistanis use tonssss onions...almost 95%of our cooking starts with onion ginger and garlic...a big positive as we developed quick immunity against covid .
Hi Refika Abla, Use of onions in sub-continental (Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi/Sri lankan) cooking was introduced by the Mughals of India who were of Turkic orgins from Samarkent. Regards, Qubad from Sydney Australia
Hi Rifka I am grateful for your vlogs. I have a question. , what can you do if you don't have a pressure cooker and what can you use instead of sugar in this dish? Nice continuation of the weekend
Love the way you made the boring vegetables interesting. So simple and looks delicious. Will definitely try. lots of love :) We definitely use onions almost in every dish 😁
Oh,my goodness that looks awesome I make it la politana?? U beat eggs and lemon juice, Greek way hahaha But I loved urs and will make it thank u My dear friend
So simple, so delicious! 👏🏻Refika, but please show us how to prepare the hearts for this dish. I want to see these mythical mega artichokes! They are enormous 😮
Oh you have serious contenders in India, as far as use of onions is concerned, Rafika :). It is used raw in salads and chutneys and there are a very few vegetables, lentils or meat dishes which are cooked without onions. The only thing that varies is how many onions go in a dish. I really enjoy your videos. Love from this part of the world ❤.

You mean Caucasian food?

All the way from Caribbean Sea to Bosphorus : Teşekküler Refika (I am teaching myself Turkish in the Time of Covid-19.
I'm Persian, we use onions in every single dish so it is basically a staple; we also use raw onions as a side with many dishes. 😊

I agree. 💖
From Texas, onions of all types! I love them! Almost cannot cook without them! Also raw, in Pico de Gallo and on top of enchiladas, and so much more!
Pamela Prettynose hi from Tx 👋
Onion is the biggest gift from the lord
In Ireland we have a saying when someone knows what they are talking about, we say , you know your onions.
We had the same saying in the US almost 100 years ago, it hasn't been used here in ages
Stealing this. Haha
In French toooo :D

You give so much new information like the lemonin water in 1st 15minutes is alkaline..... i didn't know that and thank you for telling us
Guess we're more alike than we knew. We also use onions in almost every savoury dish and then add raw onion on the side as well.
Love from India.❤️

So lovely to see women youtubers and camerawomen just being themselves :) more power to you!
I love how Refika knows and teaches science in the kitchen ❤️❤️ she is gorgeous 🌼
In South Africa we also use a lot of onions. Toast, thin slices of onion with melted cheese and added salt. Mmmmm comfort food.
send some over please , sounds delicious !
Can you please show us your garden in a video? Nice dish btw
There is no dish or soup or salad in Bulgaria without onions. If the recepie does not include onions then surely garlic 😂 I just love them.
You are teaching chemistry while cooking
When I watch Turkish cooking I would think Turkish people use the most tomatoes in the world.
You should watch Egyptian cooking .
Almost every recepie has tomatoes .
Only a few dishes don't have tomatoes in them 😁
yes. we eat tomatoes much. at breakfast, dinner, while snacking,... lol
as a turkish, i can say that youre right
Somaya El Gammal سمية الجمال like we 😁 and the other Mediterranean societies
also we are in this business with Italians
rifiqa in pakistan almost all dishes rice recipes use lot of onions and use to eat in salad too loly turkish pakistani have same habbits to eat onions mashalah

When are you coming to America- Bucks County Pennsylvania to give cooking lessons?
We’d love to have you♥️♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️♥️♥️♥️
Zeytinagli enginar delicious i love Istanbul style with potatoes and dill
every meal with olive oil is best. It tastes better when it cools. while cooking olive oil-meals you should add a pinch of sugar by the way...
Started watching your videos few days back only as accidentally got to see you preparing wonderful recipes. Although I'm a vegetarian but still enjoy watching your non veg recipes. Honestly I like your lively nature so much. Love from India
Yeah the queen of the kitcnen is back. Wonderful comfort food. Love your work😁
Love your enthusiasm for food and for cooking. Best of luck. Will certainly try your dishes. Tried your green hummus. Loved it .Thank you.

Hi, current in dubai trying to make this for the first time 👌
Love from Serbia!
In pakistani food (which is similar to indian food) we add onion in almost all the dishes in salads as well. Love from Pakistan❤❤❤
I feel a lot of joy when I watch your shows. Also, it enhances my cooking ability of course; the addition of a happy brain area is also quite nice.
Loved this video. You truly look like you are having fun! Also love artichokes. Visited Istanbul 5 years ago on a cruise. What an absolutely incredible city. Would love to go back some day

I was looking forward to the olive oil dishes! Now, time for the Queen: Zeytinyağlı yaprak sarma (olive oil leaf roll)💚
You two are heroes, cooking in crisp, white clothes! Onion top users, Russia, India, Turkey (all Ottoman influenced cuisine actiually) Mexico, Germany
Wow! I've always wanted to learn how to cook artichoke. This seems like a good starting recipe. First I need to learn how to take the leaves off haha
Love artichokes. Hate pressure cooker they scare me but will try this dish. Delish
Seda is a sweet lady... so enjoy you, Refitka!!! This looks so lovely!!!❤
"As Turkish people we use the most onions in the world". The French and Greeks are going to have something to say about that. And thank you for sharing your MOMA experience, Refika, that sounds totally cool. Regards always.
She says "probably" at the end, so it is open to other contenders 😊
Poland uses onions EVERYWHERE, raw, fried, cooked, sauteed. :)
I use more onions. For a dish of rice and meat, I use 6 large onions cooked with olive oil until clear.
I also use lots of olive oil as a condiment and squeeze a bit of lemon in my water.

I had no idea you were curated at the MOMA! Damn girl! Way to go!
I'm neither Turkish nor Indian and I can confirm that Indians use way more onions than Turks do. But I love both Indian and Turkish/Anatolian cuisines
Yes it's very true we in India have onions in every dish
Hey Refika love the recipe & yes people in India use onions in almost all their dishes and raw onion is used in salads too. Though must say we have equally tasty dishes without onion & garlic too. Yes you heard it right💁♀️Love from India
Madem bff’siniz Seda, o kadar sene neden Refika GAPS sohbetlerine gelmedi? 😊 buralardan da olsa sizi görmek güzel. Sevgiler ve ellerinize sağlık.
I LOVE artichokes. So much that I had to hit "like" as soon as I saw what you were making :)
This looks absolutely delicious, also something that would have an inflated price in a good restaurant.
Best to make it at home, s thank you for instructing us!
I'm absolutely loving your videos, love Turkish cuisine and your way of explaining recipes is phenomenonal 👍 have one request though, please do the recipe on how to make pide and its fillings..all the love from Melbourne Australia ❤🇦🇺
Another great video, Refika! Didn't know you had a book until this episode. I may have to seek it out. And I hope to return to Turkey one day!

Turkish artichokes are very large.
Nigeria too we use a lot of onions

Hi Refika Abla,
Use of onions in sub-continental (Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi/Sri lankan) cooking was introduced by the Mughals of India who were of Turkic orgins from Samarkent.
