4 large artichokes
1 bowl water mixed with juice of 2 lemons
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely diced onion
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon hot paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 generous pinch saffron, soaked in a few tablespoons hot water

4 sprigs cilantro, minced
4 sprigs parsley, minced
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, rinsed and pitted
1 lemon, quartered (for serving)
