Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fish for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen fish, but ensure it's completely thawed before cooking. This helps it cook evenly and prevents excess moisture from affecting the dish's consistency.
What can I substitute for marinated artichoke hearts?
If you don't have marinated artichoke hearts, you can use plain canned artichokes and add a tablespoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of vinegar for flavor. This substitution will still yield a delicious result.
How can I adjust the spice level of this dish?
To increase the spice level, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce while simmering the tomatoes. For a milder version, consider using sweet paprika instead of any spicy ingredients.
