2.Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan, for 2-3 minutes or until butter foams and turns nut brown. Toss through artichoke and set aside.

3.Meanwhile, to make the candied walnuts, place walnuts on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place sugar in a non-stick frypan over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until golden. Pour caramel over walnuts and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool completely.
