In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat and sauté the sliced onion until translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, and the heaping teaspoon of salt, mixing well.
In a separate pot, boil the gold potatoes until tender, then mash them and set aside.
Combine the beef mixture with the mashed potatoes, adding the tomato paste and a little light syrup for sweetness.
Season with black pepper and a pinch of salt to taste.
Stuff the artichokes with the beef and potato mixture, packing it in tightly.
In a pot, add 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer, then place the stuffed artichokes in the pot to steam until heated through.
Serve the stuffed artichokes over rice or couscous to enjoy the flavorful sauce.
