2. Clean the artichokes: we split them into 8 pieces each and fry in the pepper oil. Reserve.

4. Put the paella on fire with the other half of the oil and the shredded tomato, saute and add the saffron, chopped garlic and parsley. We put the rice and keep moving so that it does not burn, when the rice gets a little white everything we have in the pot and the reserved artichokes is added.
