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 .
