Artichokes Pie (other recipe from my mom) (Pie de alcachofas de mi mama)

With Esperanza (my daughter) we have been remembering my mom with some of her recipes that are legendary, really delicious.
Esperanza made  the other day my mom scones recipe for her friends and recently I made Artichoke Pie one of our favorite recipes .
Almost everything I learned about cooking was  with my mom. 
She  not only cook fantastic, she also did cooking classes for many years when there were no food  blogs.

Anyway ,  is wonderful  remember people  you love for the food they  made and the love they  put into it.

I made this recipe at the beginning of my blog but I  review the recipe and post again with pleasure.

thanks to all !!

If you use fresh artichokes is better for you first cooking  them  and later  take out the food with a teaspoon  the day before.

I make it   and save all in a tupper or bowl in the fridge.
