We put to heat the broth in a pot. It is important to incorporate the broth already hot so as not to cut the cooking of the rice.

Cut the onion and peppers into squares, chop the garlic, clean the mushrooms and green beans. Cut the tips of the green beans and cut them into 2-3 cm pieces. Leave the mushrooms whole. Leave the artichoke hearts by hand (drained if preserved).

Heat the paella in the biggest fire. Once hot, add a little olive oil and fry the onion. When it turns colour, add the rest of the vegetables (except the artichoke hearts) and the chopped garlic. Let the vegetables sauté for about 5 minutes.

Add the tomato and when it has lost the water, add the rice and sauté well.

Now add the hot broth, artichoke hearts, tomato concentrate, saffron and sweet paprika. Stir a little and let it cook for about 20 minutes or until there is no stock left.

Do not stir the rice during cooking. To control the rice it is only necessary to shake the paella from time to time. If you cook the paella in the kitchen, it is possible that the heat does not arrive well to the edges of the paella (especially if the kitchen is small) and it is possible that the rice of the sides remains raw. If this is the case, it will be necessary to skip the rules and, a couple of times during cooking, take the rice from the sides towards the centre.

When the stock is gone and the rice is ready, turn off the heat and serve.

I let you try this recipe and tell me what you think! ;)

Benefits of Artichoke

The artichoke is a very old vegetable, green or purple depending on the type, which has "fantastic" properties, according to Ángela Quintas, thanks to its composition. We are going to highlight six components with the benefits derived from them.

It contains cynarin, which is a substance that stimulates the secretion of bile, which favours the digestion of fats. But watch out! The fat you are ingesting at that moment, that is, while you are eating the artichokes, not the one you have stored in your body.

It is rich in fibre, which helps reduce blood glucose while protecting against constipation.

It has phytosterols, which help control blood cholesterol levels.

It has flavonoids (quercitin and rutin), which protect against heart disease and promote antioxidant action.

It has inulin, which is a carbohydrate that is slowly metabolized in the body forming fructose instead of glucose. Fructose is a sugar that can be assimilated without the need for insulin, making artichoke a particularly favorable food for people with diabetes.

In addition, the artichoke contains phosphorus, iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium as well as various vitamins, including vitamin B1, vitamin C and niacin.

Another advantage of artichokes is that they are very easy to prepare and give a lot of play in the kitchen. There are countless delicious recipes with the main ingredient artichoke as well as the accompaniment.
