The of packets is a bit cheesy but the recipe I copied literally from a "Discover the Cuina" the year of the Chestnut, the number 6 with that I say all, as is a magazine published in Catalan, presented the recipe as cabbage Farcellets botifarra i amb llagostins "and I sincerely believe that this is the most appropriate translation. Suggestions welcome for that.
Anyway, what is being unable to throw anything related to food is that occasionally you can save your life. I had a few leaves of cabbage seemed a being from another planet and I could not take for escudella but they were perfect for making stuffed, but would not fill them with meat, in canalones.Me plan wanted to do something a little more original and I pulled out my magazines to find this recipe as it says is an amazing mountain and sea, and how would the Aida Luisma ... I attest.
Ingredients for 2 people
3 large cabbage leaves 1 garlic tender shrimp
8 1 / 2 zucchini 60 gr. black sausage a little oil and salt pepper
For sauces 2 garlic cloves and peeled a tomato rolled
shrimp heads A little white wine 50 cl
soy sauce and 15 gr. sugar
first thing is to clean cabbage leaves with water and cut in half by removing the little white nerve. Put them in a steamer with a little water or vegetable broth (I l as I did with water) and left for 5 minutes. Are removed, is left to drain on paper towels or a clean cloth. Cut the zucchini and garlic into strips and chop the sausage. Prawns are cleaned, the casing is removed, peel and remove the heads that we reserve for the sauce, and cut into four pieces (or three depending on the size of the prawns that to everyone's eye.) In a pan fry the garlic, add the zucchini and sauté until they take color. Are added shrimp and sausage and sauté a couple of minutes. Salt & pepper and was removed. Put a spoonful of the filling on each cabbage leaf half and closed to form packets. She puts on the steamer again five minutes.
Serve with the essence of shrimp and a soy reduction, which gives an exotic oriental touch to mourn.
essence To make the sautéed shrimp heads are removed and the same oil, add the garlic, peeled and rolled and a tomato peeled and cut into pieces, you miss all and add back the heads of the prawns , everything gets wet with white wine, is allowed to evaporate the alcohol from wine, crushed and passed through the Chinese.
soy reduction is made with the 50 cl. soy sauce and sugar 15, leaving him lame reduce until very thick sauce consistency.
packets are presented on one side and sauces on the side so that everyone gets where you want and the quantities they want, I liked the two mixed , a lot of essence and a touch of sauce soybeans.
Now that I write I'm thinking that I have to do it again. Que rico! LRK
HEMC 40 - food scraps - WHITE BEAN TORTILLA and sausages
I can not remember the time that makes HEMC not participate in, but this comes in handy for me after the Escudella i carn d'olla his I had been leftover meat and vegetables to give and deliver, and even now we can put an excuse for the crisis, I always gave me great shame to waste food, so today judas reused explain how the white and the sausages that I left Christmas Day and also to reuse the post to be part of this month HEMC Cuchiflitos proposed.
I had baked beans, and had the remains of the two cooked sausages, black and white, 200 gr. beans, 150 gr. approximately total of the two sausages so I put them in a saute pan with a few drops of oil, when they took a golden brown color or so I added the two sausages cut small pieces and saute with beans all together. Meanwhile, beat 4 eggs with salt and threw it over the beans with sausage and prepared to make the tortilla has traditionally, turning alternately aided by a plate. A we do not like well done.
's it. It took me 10 minutes and a pa amb tomàquet I fixed a good dinner and was fine. If not, tell it to my Mini (which is not so mini) who ate three-quarters of the tortilla.
this Christmas have been rare, and for the same reason why I made the panallets I was "forced" to do this year has the Escudella i Carn d'olla traditionally com íamos at my "suegris" Christmas Day.
had never prepared so I was not quite sure that the result was very good, especially having to compete with the parents of my Maxi and we know that this fight with the recue Fin.results non of children is difficult, but hey, one more time from one day to another I was looking for information, which is multiple and varied, and buying the ingredients for 6 people who were as follows.
500 gr. beef can also be beef but I had to settle for poor fillet, 1 / 2 chicken, 2 blanquette turkey, a piece of salt pork and a fresh made around 150 grams A salted pig's foot, an ear also salt, 250 gr. black sausage, 150, white sausage, slices of ham or stale if you're not a ham bone, I took me a few pieces of lean boneless, 1 beef bone cane with their marrow, 250 gr. chickpeas to soak in warm water and salt the night before, 200 gr. also white beans soaked overnight, 250 gr. of potatoes cut into quarters, 1 col biggie, big boy 1 turnip, 1 carrot and a parsnip regular. Salt ear and foot also began to soak overnight to lose much of the salt.
For the pilot
100 gr. of lean pork I took the 500 gr. purchased a piece of white sausage, 1 clove garlic, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, 1 of flour, cinnamon, parsley and salt. Well
car on fire I put the pot with about three liters of water, meat, chicken, the two Blanquet, foot and ear soaked overnight pork, bacon, ham and the bone of beef, carrot, parsnip and turnip. As you begin to boil, lather well (ie removes the dark foam that they release all the ingredients, and fat) and incorporates peas and beans ( within a mesh bag, separately, so that these vegetables, when cooked, can be easily removed, and not mixed with other genres of stock) season it with a minimum salt and let it simmer without interruption. (Well, actually I had to stop for a moment because the pot of cooking where I started to make the broth was small, and me and my problems with the measures I did not realize until he had all the ingredients brought to a boil, and I had no nothing more and still had to put the pilot, sausages, cabbage ... Anyway.)
While
solve the problem of the pot was becoming the stock and ride it I prepared as follows.
Piqué the lean pork or the white sausage of veal, I added the beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, some pepper, a dash of cinnamon powder, garlic and parsley and a little flour. By forming a paste the ball, so long and then passing it through flour. I left two , make me thought it would be too large. Needless to say, was getting the ingredients and mixing. It must be tasty and fluffy, that's the most important. The point I like cinnamon, and I remembered that my mother hen c to home also became.
When cooked and takes three hours boiling gently (and I already had the industrial pot I could go home find my in-laws, and changed all this) are incorporated ride it, the sausages, potatoes and cabbage. Shortly after salt to taste. Obviously the three liters of boiling water for two hours is reduced, I added as two more times around a couple of liters to eye, but always hot. And I left about half an hour / three quarters more. After this period, with the help of my Maxi (I had no strength to take such ollon) retired three-quarters of the broth to make soup galets which is the typical pasta and very big Christmas. (Although not as much as there placed throughout the city of Barcelona ) Then sets, carn d'olla a source, whole or sliced, with a little broth over it, another source of vegetables in separate small mounds carrot and sliced \u200b\u200band placed on top of cabbage and beans in a bowl.
all together is served at the table, to serve you the rest of the soup and eat it any way you want.
The truth is that it was awesome, broth, vegetables ...
Still left over from everything to give and sell , especially since we were three and I made to six, but for that are the cannelloni de Sant Esteve.
Although
that, that's another post.
accompany this classic Catalan cuisine, with an equally classic Rioja wineries, a Reserve Imperial 82 which was perfect, fruity on the nose and mouth and despite his age, was maintaining good acidity and that memory of cherries in liquor I like so much in this type of wine. In short, it was just perfect.
Well, I know that normally in the world of dining or prescription Blogs (called the mine as you like) when you hang up a prescription related to a day, it crashes before it reaches the day. That is, if it is near Christmas and want to hang the duck in orange sauce recipe of your grandmother for Christmas because I did hang a few days before, if someone reads you would like to take, or coca in San Juan or in this If a Panallets for the day of the chestnut. Vale for 11 months I advancement, 10 and a half setting.
to what we were. I guess every community has its way of celebrating the night or the day before the feast of All Saints. In my house, customs Aragon, when I was little I remember we did nothing, only my mother lit candles and left overnight, as he put it, to enlighten souls. But no celebration, nothing special meals. I do not know when panallets came to my house, I think through my sister, Catalan, or my sister ... can not remember, but I was not much of panallets. Since I joined my family Maxi provided for chestnut parents brought us the panallets a very good pastry is in my neighborhood but this time could not be. So I took the plunge value and I decided to make them myself and pass a lot to them. As always I was late. This year, the chestnut was on Saturday and the Saturday was buying the ingredients but the clerk of nuts I said it was necessary to let it sit overnight dough as the recipe said. So I bought the ingredients he told me I got a recipe that was very cleverly put on the counter, and I got to work. Before giving
ingredients I want to clarify that I took a spin around the Internet to find a bit of history and the source was always Wikipedia, so who wants to know some history you look at them there.
Ingredients 1 / 2 kg grated Almond 400 gr. Sugar 250 Gr gloss of potato (in my case with a potato was enough, can also be made with sweet potatoes and put in the recipe, now I just realized, 1 / 2 kg. potatoes, but I have a problem with the steps and I remember well that my potato into a room. I did not want to do with sweet potatoes for fear they were very sweet, or sweet potatoes lend its flavor. In fact, purists say that putting panallet potato or yam is done to save that amount for out-going, but of course are also less wealthy. This is not because I say so, that I say, I were real good and I had to leave about fifty more or less, to spread and eat a few are sufficient, if you're not panallets for a year and lose the grace.
1 egg yolk 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar (you can also put a tube of vanilla but Mr of nuts and gave me had no sugar.) 1 / 4 of Pine
enough water in Boil the potatoes, when cooked, hot, peeled, crushed with a fork, add the sugar little by little so that it melts, egg yolks, stirring constantly, and the teaspoon of sugar vanilla and grated almonds. Knead well, if necessary with your hands and let it rest. In the recipe was written that all night. I let a few hours, four or five. After that time I formed the balls of desired size and I beat the egg Dredge the balls and was coated in pine nuts. This is the most laborious because of course it's not like the bread crumbs, you have to do a bit of pressure to stay stuck while trying to maintain the round shape of panallet. But hey, it's harder to cut stones. Once the desired amount is fighting another egg and paint bathe in each panallets. Get into the oven about 5 minutes or until golden brown to consumer tastes.
If you run out of gears, which to me I ran out, the marzipan can be added grated chocolate or like me Turbo Cola-Cao, depending on the amount of mass is a rule of thumb, I do not stay long, for about 10 panallets not too fat and I put three tablespoons. Knead well again to mix the Cola-Cao and make him the desired shape. Also is coated in beaten egg and truth that are good. These did not photograph them, but they were so good I had to tell, and accompany the wonderful coffee.
