                        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.

   3 1/2  pounds        Chicken
                        Kosher or sea salt -- as needed
                        Freshly-ground black pepper -- as needed
   2      tablespoons   Olive oil -- plus
   1      teaspoon      Olive oil
   1      medium        Onion -- finely chopped
   1      tablespoon    Minced cilantro
   1      tablespoon    Minced parsley
     1/4  teaspoon      Grated fresh ginger
   1      pinch         Saffron threads -- crumbled
     1/4  teaspoon      Ground cumin, preferably freshly ground
                        in a mortar or spice mill

     1/4  cup           Dry white wine
   2      tablespoons   Chopped blanched almonds
   1      tablespoon    Honey

   Cut the chicken into small serving pieces, detaching the wings and legs and dividing the breast in 4 pieces and each thigh in half crosswise.  Sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper.  Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a shallow casserole and lightly brown the chicken on all sides.  Add the onion and cook until it has wilted.  Sprinkle in the cilantro, parsley, ginger, saffron, cumin, and nutmeg.  Stir in the chicken broth and wine, cover, and simmer 40 minutes.
   In a very small skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon oil and lightly brown the almonds over a medium flame.  Add the honey and 2 tablespoons water and cook away most of the liquid.  Spoon over the chicken, cover, and cook 5 minutes more.
   This recipe yields 4 servings.

  Comments:  A preparation from Andalucia's Moorish past that includes many of the most characteristic ingredients of Moorish cooking of those times: almonds, honey, cilantro, ginger, saffron, and cumin.

  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
   6      tablespoons   Olive oil
   3      tablespoons   Red wine vinegar
     1/2  teaspoon      Ground cumin
   1      tablespoon    Tabasco sauce -- or to taste
   2      cups          Tomato juice
   2                    Hard-boiled eggs -- grated
   1      cup           Ice water
                        Freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
                        Salt -- to taste

   Blend all the ingredients except the grated egg in a food blender or food processor.  You will have to do this in several batches.  Chill well before serving.
   Pour into wine glasses or cups and garnish with the grated egg.  Leave the wine vinegar and black pepper grinder out so your guests may add a bit to their glasses.

  Comments:  This is actually a ground-up salad -- dressing included.  It will get a Spanish dinner off to the right start because you can serve it in glasses and allow your guests to walk about while they are drinking their salad, or eating their first course ... having soup.

Recipe By     : Pepita Aris

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.

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.

   3      cups          Chicken stock -- fresh or canned
     1/8  teaspoon      Saffron threads -- crushed, optional
   2      tablespoons   Annatto Oil -- see * Note
   1      teaspoon      Paprika
     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.

   Soak the dried white beans overnight in water.  Drain well.
   In an 8-quart stockpot place 2 1/2 cups water, soaked beans, chicken thighs, chorizo, ham, salt pork, onion, garlic, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce.  Simmer all , covered, for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.  Remove the chicken from the pot.
   Debone the chicken, chop the meat and reserve.
   Add to the pot the potatoes, green cabbage, kale, and turnips.  Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes.  Return the boned chicken to the pot and add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
   Simmer a few more minutes until all is hot, and serve.  The soup keeps well for a few days in the refrigerator.

  Comments:  There are many versions of this wonderful soup, but its roots seem to be in Spain itself.  It is a classic combination of beans, meats and vegetables.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      tablespoons   Olive oil
   2                    Garlic cloves -- minced
   1      medium        Onion -- slivered
     1/2  teaspoon      Imported sweet paprika

   1      tablespoon    Minced fresh oregano leaves
                        (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)

   Heat the oil in a shallow casserole.  Saute the garlic and onion a minute or two, then cover and cook very slowly 10 minutes.  Stir in the paprika and the zucchini.  Add the salt, pepper, and oregano, cover, and cook over a low flame for 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is done to taste.
   This recipe yields 4 servings.

  Comments:  A somewhat simplified rendition of a dish that often includes tomato, peppers, and potatoes and was a favorite of field workers in Murcia, who could find all its ingredients literally within reach.  This recipe comes from Rincon de Pepe, an excellent restaurant in the city of Murcia.

                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.

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!

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      tablespoon    Butter or margerine
     1/4  teaspoon      Dried oregano -- crushed
   1      tablespoon    Olive oil
     1/4  teaspoon      Ground cumin
   1      small         Onion -- finely chopped
     1/4  teaspoon      Ground tumeric
   1                    Clove garlic -- finely minced
   1      can           14 1/2 oz chicken broth -- or
   1      cup           Uncooked rice (I used
                        chicken stock -- basmati)            
     1/4  teaspoon      Salt

Place butter and oil in 2-quart pan over medium heat.  When butter is melted, add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender.

 Add rice; cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until rice looks milky and opaque.

 Add salt, oregano, cumin, tumeric, and chicken broth.  Bring to a boil.
cover; reduce heat and simmer 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed.

 Peel and pit avocado; dice.  Fluff up rice with fork; add avocado and toss gently.  Turn off heat; let stand 5 minutes before serving.

 NOTES:  I have also made this with peeled, seeded, diced tomatoes instead of avocado.

                 Chicken Fritters - {Bunuelitos De Pollo}

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

  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.

  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.

   The finer you shred and chop the cod, the smoother the fritters will be.  However, some prefer fritters with coarse flakes of cod.  It is entirely a matter of taste.

                        ** {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.

Finely slice green onions; reserve 1/4 cup of the green tops for garnish.
In a deep microwaveable casserole bowl or 8 cup measure, combine onions.
rice, tomatoes and their liquid, broth, thyme, pepper and salt (dish needs to be twice the height of these combined ingredients).

 Cover dish tightly and microwave on high (100% power) for 16 minutes, rotating the dish a quarter turn halfway through cooking.

 Remove the dish from microwave; stir in peas. Arrange mussels and shrimp alternately around the edge of dish, sticking mussels upright into the rice mixture and shrimp head down and tail toward center (they do not need to be completely covered with liquid). Arrange fish pieces in an even layer in center, on top of the rice mixture.

 Cover and microwave on high until most of the fish has turned opaque throughout and mussels open, 5 to 8 minutes more. Mixture will look saucy.
Let stand, covered, about 3 minutes for fish to finish cooking. Serve in wide shallow bowls and sprinkle with reserved green onions over each serving. Makes 4 servings.

 Note: Clams, Scallops and Grouper may be substituted.
