Artichoke stew

Here I am again with another seasonal recipe. A stew of artichokes very easy to do and very nice to eat. Potatoes and carrots accompany artichokes without stealing any of their flavor. So if you like artichokes, I'm sure you will like this dish. This time, I have added some chopped ham, but if you are vegetarian you can omit this ingredient and it is just as good.

ARTICHOKE STEW (serves 4)

5 or 6 artichokes
2 medium potatoes
3 carrots
1 large cloves of garlic
Chopped parsley
3 level tablespoons of breadcrumbs
Virgin olive oil
Salt
Ham (optional)

In a pan put a bit of the oil and then add the potatoes, peeled and cut into slices of about half a centimeter thick. On top, place the artichokes, peeled and cut into quarters and the sliced ​​carrots. Add the minced garlic, bread crumbs and parsley. Season and half covered with water. Add a splash of olive oil and let cook at medium heat, moving the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. When the artichokes are tender, add the ham and cook for a few more minutes.
