Peel and slice the garlic coarsely.
Halve the peppers lengthwise, remove seeds and cut the peppers into pieces.
Cut the courgette into cubes.
Remove the skin from the chorizo ​​and cut the chorizo ​​into cubes. (Don't eat it with the skin!)
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the onions, garlic, peppers and courgette about 4 minutes. Add the chorizo ​​and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for about 2 minutes.

Add the oregano, manchego and artichoke hearts to the frying pan and warm thoroughly.
