Chicken And Chick-Pea Stew

Recipe By : Jeff Smith
Serving Size : 5 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : * Spanish Chicken
Soups/Stews Poultry

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Dried chick-peas (garbanzo beans)
1 teaspoon Baking soda
3 tablespoons Olive oil
2 pounds Chicken legs and thighs
1 slice Whole-wheat bread
1 large Onion -- sliced
2 large Tomatoes, red ripe -- diced
1 slice Bacon
2 cups Chicken stock -- fresh or canned
(do not use bouillon)
1 Bay leaf -- whole
2 Garlic cloves -- crushed
2 Hard-boiled eggs -- peeled
1/2 cup Dry sherry
Freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
Salt -- to taste

Pick over the chick-peas carefully, discarding discolored ones, small stones, etc. Soak them overnight in ample water to cover, along with the baking soda.
Next day drain and rinse the peas. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
Simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Drain the peas and discard the water. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan and add the oil. Brown chicken pieces on all sides and remove from the pan. Fry the bread in the remaining oil.
Remove and set aside. In the same pan saute onion, tomatoes and bacon.
Cook until the onions are clear.
Place the vegetable mixture in a 6-quart lidded Dutch oven and add the chicken pieces and the chick-peas.
Deglaze the frying pan with a bit of the broth. Add the pan drippings and the stock to the pot along with the bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.
In the meantime, crush the garlic in a small bowl. Break up the fried bread and add to the garlic along with the yolks of the hard boiled eggs.
Mash the mixture along with 1 tablespoon of the sherry. You want to create a garlic-egg paste. Chop the whites of the eggs.
When the chicken has been simmering for 45 minutes add the garlic paste, the chopped egg whites and the remaining sherry. Stir the pot carefully and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Comments: The Italians call them ceci, the technical name is garbanzo bean and many people call them chick-peas. Most often they are purchased dry, then soaked and cooked. If you may want to use canned, drained garbanzos, simply add them to the pot when you add the chicken stock and chicken.

Categories : * Spanish Appetizers
Soups/Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Garlic clove -- peeled
1/2 Green bell pepper -- cored and seeded
1 Onion -- peeled
5 Tomatoes, very ripe -- quartered
1 medium Cucumber -- peeled, sliced
1 tablespoon Tomato paste

2 Hard-boiled eggs -- grated
1 cup Ice water

Colorful Baked Eggs

Recipe By : Pepita Aris
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : * Spanish Egg Dishes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup Olive oil
1 large Onion -- chopped
2 Garlic cloves -- finely chopped
1/4 pound Cooking chorizo -- sliced
or fresh spicy sausage -- sliced
or smoked ham -- cubed
2 Sweet red or green peppers (3/4 lb) -- chopped
3/4 pound Ripe tomatoes -- without skin or seed
or 1 1/2 cups canned tomatoes -- with juice
1 tablespoon Fino or amontillado sherry -- to 2 tablespoons
3/4 cup Shelled peas
1/4 pound Green beans -- snapped short length
8 Extra-large eggs
1 pinch Cayenne
Salt -- to taste

Heat the oven to 350 degrees and warm a shallow casserole or baking dish.
Heat the oil in a skillet and soften the onion slowly. Add the garlic and push to the sides of the pan, then fry the sausage or ham until colored and remove it. Add the sweet peppers and chopped tomato to the pan and let them cook and reduce, stirring occasionally. Add some sherry if the mixture seems dry. Meanwhile, cook the peas and beans and add them too.
Transfer the vegetable mixture to the casserole and distribute the sausage or ham. Swirl the eggs together with a fork without overmixing, season them well with cayenne and salt. Pour over the vegetables and meat and bake in the oven about 10 to 15 minutes until the eggs are just set.

Comments: With its swirl of red, green, yellow, and white, this dish has all the vibrant color of the whirling skirts of gypsy dancers. Shrimp can be substituted for the sausage, or everything included in a grand medley.

Fish Baked With Potatoes, Onions, And Wine

Recipe By : Penelope Casas
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : * Spanish Fish (Ocean)
Main Dish Seafood

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Potatoes -- cut into 1/8" slices
1 mediun Onion -- slivered
1/4 cup Olive oil
Kosher or sea salt -- as needed
Freshly-ground black pepper -- as needed
1/4 pound Tomato -- in very thin wedges
2 pounds Turbot steaks, 1 inch thick
(or other firm-flesh fish like halibut)
1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
(or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)
1 1/2 teaspoons Minced fresh rosemary
(or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary)
1 1/2 teaspoons Minced fresh marjoram
(or 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram)
2 tablespoons Minced fresh parsley
Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup Dry white wine
1 tablespoon Dried bread crumbs

Arrange the potatoes and onion in layers in a greased baking pan, sprinkling each layer with oil (a total of 3 tablespoons), salt, and pepper (choose a pan in which you will have about 3 layers). Scatter the tomato wedges over the potatoes, cover tightly with foil, and bake in a 350 degree oven about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender. Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish steaks on both sides with salt and let sit.
Place the fish over the potatoes, brush the fish with about 1 tablespoon oil, then sprinkle the fish and potatoes with thyme, rosemary, marjoram, parsley, and lemon juice. Pour on the wine. Dust the fish with bread crumbs and cook until the fish is just done, about 15 minutes, basting several times.
This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Fish (whatever is freshest that day) baked over a bed of thin-sliced potatoes is one of the preferred ways to prepare fish in Catalunya. This version from Els Pescadors, a fine seafood restaurant commanding wonderful views of the sea and of the small port of L'Escala, is quite exceptional.

Little Meat Espadrilles In Wine Sauce

Recipe By : Pepita Aris
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : * Spanish Pork
Veal

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 slices Stale bread -- without crusts
3/4 pound Ground lean pork or veal
1/2 pound Ground raw or smoked ham
or Canadian bacon
2 Garlic cloves -- finely chopped
3 tablespoons Finely chopped parsley
3 Extra-large eggs -- separated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
Olive oil -- for frying
=== CINNAMON WINE SAUCE ===
1 Onion -- chopped
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Garlic clove -- finely chopped
2 tablespoons Finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon Flour
1 cup Good meat or chicken stock
1 cup Oaky Spanish white wine
or a dry white wine mixed 3:1
with pale dry Montilla
1 Bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

If you are using a food processor, make the bread crumbs first, then grind together the pork or veal and ham or Canadian bacon. Add the crumbs, garlic, parsley and 3 egg yolks, keeping the whites to use later for the coating. Mix everything together, seasoning well, to make a stiff pate.
With your hands, shape the mixture into small sausages about 2-inches long, then flatten into shoe shapes. Heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil and fry the patties about 3 minutes on each side. Reserve them on a tray and chill at least 1 hour.
For the sauce, soften the onion in 2 tablespoons of oil until golden, adding the garlic and parsley for the last few minutes. Tipping the pan, spoon out any visible oil, then stir in the flour and cook 1 minute. Stir in the stock, wine, bay leaf, and cinnamon and simmer 5 minutes.
About 15 minutes before serving, beat the egg whites with a little salt until peaks form and coat the 'alpargatas'. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until colored and heated through. Reheat the sauce in a large casserole, slip in the 'alpargatas' in a single layer, and simmer gently 10 minutes. Buttered zucchini sticks make a good accompaniment. Serves 4 to 6.

Comments: These pork and ham patties from Valencia are unusual and rather fun. Made in advance, they are then served in a wine and cinnamon sauce. An alpargata is a casual shoe with a rope sole--better known by its French name of espadrille. When fried, the patties do look very much like rope soles, because the coating of egg white fries in the characteristic ring pattern.

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : * Spanish Paella
Main Dish

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Mussels -- in the shell
1 pound Small clams -- in the shell
1/2 cup Olive oil
2 pounds Chicken thighs
1/2 pound Boneless pork butt -- cut 1" cubes
2 Onions -- peeled, sliced
2 Garlic cloves -- crushed
1 cup Smoked ham -- cut 1/2" cubes
1 cup Chorizo - Spanish or Mexican -- sliced
1 Red bell pepper -- sliced thin
2 cups Arborio-style rice

1/2 cup Peas -- defrosted if frozen
1/2 pound Large shrimp -- peeled
1 cup Dry white wine
Salt -- to taste
Lemon slices -- for garnish

* Note: The recipe for "Annatto Oil" is included in this collection.

With a paring knife or a pair of pliers trim or pull off the fuzzy beards from the mussels. Rinse the clams and mussels well and soak them in cold water for 1 hour. Drain, leaving any sand behind.
Heat a 15-inch round paella pan or a large frying pan. Add the 1/2 cup olive oil and brown the chicken until brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Brown and cook the pork in the same way. Remove the pork to the chicken plate, leaving the oil in the pan.
Reheat the pan and add the onion, garlic, ham cubes and chorizo slices.
Saute until the onion is clear, then add the red bell pepper. Cook for a moment and remove from the pan, leaving the oil behind.
Reheat the pan and add the rice. Stir over medium heat until the grains begin to color just a bit. You may need additional oil at this point.
Now add the reserved chicken and pork, along with the cooked vegetable mixture.
In a sauce pan bring the chicken stock to a boil and add the optional saffron, the annatto oil, paprika and salt to taste.
When the ingredients are hot add to the paella pan or frying pan. Heat until all comes to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the dish, covered, rotating it now and then on the burner, for about 8 minutes. Stir in the wine. Add the shrimp, clams and mussels to the pan, being sure to push the clams and mussels down into the rive, hinged sides down.
Sprinkle the peas on top and continue to cook, covered, until the clams and mussels are open and the rice is just tender.
Garnish with the lemon slices and serve.

Comments: The name "paella" simply refers to the big round pan in which this dish is cooked. This particular recipe is done in the style of Valencia and it contains a little bit of everything.

Tortilla Of Potato And Onions

Recipe By : Jeff Smith
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : * Spanish Omelets
Egg Dishes Potatoes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 pound Red potatoes -- unpeeled, and
cooked but still firm, and sliced
1 medium Onion -- sliced
2 Garlic cloves -- chopped
3 tablespoons Olive oil
6 Eggs
Freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
Salt -- to taste

Heat a 10-inch non-stick frying pan and saute the potatoes, onion and garlic in the oil.
Beat the eggs with a bit of salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables.
Using a wooden spatula, raise the edge of the omelet so the uncooked top can flow under the omelet. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat.
Place a plate over the top of the pan and invert both plate and pan so the omelet comes out upside down. Slide it back into the hot pan to cook the second side. Cook for about 2 minutes more.

Comments: In Spain a tortilla is an omelet, turned once in the pan, then served in wedges like a pie. Any number of fillings can be used once you master the trick of turning the tortilla.

Heat the oil in a large skillet and fry the peppers lightly and quickly to avoid burning them. Set them aside. In the same oil, fry the garlic, tomatoes and artichokes over low heat. Add the rice and stir, then add the saffron and paprika. Add the water and salt to taste. When it begins to boil, add the pork and let the mixture cook vigorously. Puree the fried peppers with a little water and add to the rice. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the rice is half done, then reduce the heat and cook slowly until finished. This rice should be cooked, dry and have the grains separate (rather than stuck together).

Contributed to the echo by: Marge Clark The recipe has no real measurments...is a "what you have"... Spanish hot dogs & rice: Enough rice for four people... put rice on to cook...while it's cooking slice as many hot dogs as you have (lets say 1/2 pound or more) into pennies, about 1/2 inch thick. dice 1 green pepper...I used to use the frozen diced pepper and use a couple of handsful..maybe 3/4 cup? Diced onion. ditto on the amount.
combine all the above, heat, while the rice is cooking...set the table and spray on some perfume.

This is obviously not a gourmet feast for company. But everyone ATE it! and there is little that's faster or easier!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Cooked chicken -- minced
1/2 cup Olive oil -- for frying
Salt and pepper -- to taste
=== FRITTER BATTER ===
1/3 cup Flour
1/3 teaspoon Baking powder
1 Egg
1/3 cup Water

Put flour in mixing bowl and gradually add enough water (about 1/3 cup) to make a batter of the consistency of a thin cream sauce. Stir in one lightly beaten egg and the baking powder.
Add minced chicken to batter, season with salt and pepper to taste. (This much may be done a day in advance.)
Heat enough olive oil in a large frying pan to cover the bottom to a depth of 1/4-inch (about 1/2 cup). When oil begins to smoke, drop in cod mixture off teaspoon and fry until well browned, turning once. Total frying time will be 10-15 minutes. Drain on brown paper before serving.

Comments: The fritters should be small enough to be eaten in one bite from a toothpick. They need not be served hot, and in fact are best just warm. The basic batter will make three to four dozen small fritters and can be used for many varieties.

Chorizo Pastries - {Empanadillas De Chorizo}

Recipe By : Barbara Norman
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : * Spanish Appetizers
Tapas

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 slender Chorizo or pepperoni -- cut into 40 slices
1 Egg yolk -- raw
=== EMPANADILLA DOUGH ===
1 1/2 cups Flour
1 Egg
2 tablespoons Milk
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt

Put flour on a board or marble slab, make a hole in the center, add all the ingredients in the hole, and mix well with fingers. Roll into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. The dough must rest for 15 minutes before use; it can be kept in a cool place for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough in two. Roll out half; place sausage slices on rolled dough, pressing them down slightly. Roll out other half of dough and put it over the sausages. Using a cookie cutter or a thin edged glass, cut out a circle around each sausage slice large enough to leave a margin of dough around the sausage. Pinch the edges of the two halves together, brush tops with beaten egg yolk diluted in a little water, prick pastries with a fork, bake in a 400 degree oven 15 to 20 minutes or until browned.

Comments: Little coctail pastries are excellent made with any leftover, unsweetened dough. Fresh dough does not take long to prepare and can be mixed the day before if you wish. For that matter, the pastries can be baked hours in advance. Best hot or warmed over in a moderate oven, they are also good cold. This recipe makes enough dough for about forty bite-size pastries.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
** {Barcos De Anchoas A La Sevillana}
2 cans Pimiento - (small cans)
1 Hard-boiled egg yolk -- mashed
Ground black pepper -- to taste
2 cans Rolled anchovies -- liquid reserved
Raw rice -- for baking tarts
=== EMPANADILLA DOUGH ===
1 1/2 cups Flour
1 Egg
2 tablespoons Milk
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt

Put flour on a board or marble slab, make a hole in the center, add all the ingredients in the hole, and mix well with fingers. Roll into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. The dough must rest for 15 minutes before use; it can be kept in a cool place for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough, form small boats, prick bottoms in 2 or 3 places with a knife. Fill boats with raw rice to make them keep their hollow shape during baking. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until firm. Discard rice.
Shortly before serving, dice pimiento, soak it in the liquid from the cans of anchovy and season it with ground black pepper. Fill boats with the pimiento, sprinkle tops with a little mashed yolk of hard-boiled egg, and decorate with rolled anchovy.

Comments: The filling should be added no more than an hour before serving. There is a variety of cold foods suitable for fillings. Some suggestions are red caviar; anchovy with chopped hard-boiled egg; chopped chicken with mayoannaise; chopped tuna with mayonnaise and minced green olives; fish, fresh or canned, with mayonnaise and capers; cold vegetable salad with chopped cured ham.
The tartlets take the shape of boats in this sample recipe, but can be given any shape you wish: oblong, square, or round. Regardless of the shape, the baking of the shells is the same as in the above recipe. This recipe makes enough dough for about thirty tartlets.
