One day I was a hotel guest and I was surprised that the artichoke has a whole day on the menu, as if they were celebrating artichoke in a certain way. of food I don't like, but I like to give all things other chances.

I hate this vegetable, and I see it like thorns in my throat, and my mouth prevails and I describe it as black in every respect, in terms of taste and in terms of blackening the mouth.

After browning the vegetables with the onion, put an appropriate amount of water and a cube of food stock or chicken soup.

All the vegetables are cooked together and then we put the spices mentioned above and you can add whatever you want, but I prefer to add thyme only with salt and pepper until the flavors of the vegetables appear in the soup.

After you finish cooking the vegetables, beat them with a regular or manual blender and then decorate them with cooking cream, which you can dispense with some flour and milk beaten together as a light béchamel and you can add some cheese that you like in the soup.

In general, this is my way of cooking most soups that give a different flavor.

Fry the artichokes with some butter, then add it in the béchamel tray and put the mozzarella cheese over it, then put it in the oven and brown the top of the grill in the oven until fully cooked.

If you do not have mozzarella, yogurt and flour to make the ready bechamel or bechamel, you can suffice with the old way and make it with minced meat only, but with the addition of sauce

In a blender, we beat tomatoes with water, salt, pepper and ready-made sauce, and you can add an onion and some paprika - if available - and then put it on top of the artichokes to cook with the sauce in the oven instead of bechamel.

This dish is eaten with rice and green salad.

Artichoke as an addition:
