At that time, our specialist chef Willy Moya experienced come to Istanbul and we were being taking him to a fisherman or restaurant daily to introduce his Turkish appetizers and dishes. He cherished our appetizer tradition, and when he noticed mobile stalls buying artichokes on each corner, he mentioned why not consider an artichoke appetizer. We wished it being like hummus although not hummus. On our very first check out in the kitchen area, we place asparagus and peas on it as a garni, and also extra honey. We eliminated the asparagus as it could raise the cost and after a while we revised it and identified its last form. For 10 years, this dish has grown to be among Lucca's indispensable beginnings. Each and every customer to Istanbul Bebek Lucca commences with this particular plate initial.
