💰Cheaper: canned artichokes

Canned artichokes are more affordable and convenient.

Open a jar of small artichoke hearts, drain them, and rinse under cold running water.

Gently pat the artichoke hearts with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible.

Shape the artichoke hearts back to their regular shape with your hands and transfer them into a bowl.

Thinly slice 4 to 5 garlic cloves.

Finely dice 1/2 of an onion, removing 2-3 outer layers for better flavor and texture.

Prepare a Spanish pepper by cutting off the end, rolling it between hands to remove seeds, and thinly slicing it.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

After about a minute, add the diced onions, sliced garlic, and sliced Spanish pepper to the pan, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes.

Add the artichoke hearts to the pan and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, mixing everything together and cooking for about 3 minutes.

Lower the heat to low and add 1/2 cup of tomato puree, seasoning again with sea salt, black pepper, a pinch of white sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley; mix everything together.

Simmer the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes until ready.

Transfer everything onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
