Spanish Chorizo And Rabbit Stew Food

SPANISH CHORIZO AND RABBIT STEW

Steps:

• Use a large frying pan, big enough for all the rabbit pieces. Heat the oil on a low heat and gently fry the chorizo until the fat runs. Remove the chorizo from the pan, with a slotted spoon leaving the juices in the pan, and set aside.
• Season the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown on both sides, this should take about 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile make up the Spanish sauce. Put the cherry tomatoes, whole garlic cloves and paprika powder into a mini food processor. Pulse until smooth then push through a sieve with a small ladle - this is to get rid of the seeds which you can now discard.
• Once the rabbit is golden add the Spanish tomato sauce to the pan and bring up to a simmer. This is quite a dry stew so there won't be much sauce. Cook (no lid required) for about 15 minutes until the tomato mixture has thickened up.
• Next add the sliced peppers to the pan, along with the browned chorizo. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a low simmer again.
• If you have a suitable lid now cover the pan (even partially - I use the lid from my slow cooker - resourceful hey?) to keep in the heat which will help cook the rabbit through. Leave for around 30 minutes.
• While the rabbit is cooking make up the dressing by mixing together the finely chopped parsley, olive oil and lemon in a bowl.
• Once the rabbit is cooked through, remove the rabbit meat from the stew, allow to cool for a minute of so so you don't burn your hands and pull all the meat from the bones. Put the flesh back in the stew and stir through the sauce.
• Transfer to a serving dish (or take the frying pan to the table to save on washing up) and
• drizzle over the parsley dressing.

SPANISH RABBIT STEW

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook the bacon until it is brown and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove bacon to drain on paper towels.
• Season the rabbit with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining bacon fat and sear the rabbit pieces until golden on all sides, turning often, about 56 minutes. Lift out the rabbit pieces and reserve. Add the onion to the pan and saute until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 57 minutes. Add the garlic, almonds, cinnamon, red pepper flakes and salt, and cook until the aromas are released, about 1 minute. Add the wine and reduce by half.
• Add the stock, browned rabbit pieces, browned bacon and bay leaves. Cook, covered, until rabbit is fork tender, about 1 hour.
• Carefully lift out the rabbit pieces and transfer to a serving platter. Add the sherry to the sauce along with enough butter to thicken the sauce, whisking until the butter is incorporated. Pour the sauce over the warm rabbit pieces and garnish with toasted sliced almonds.

CHORIZO-POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned around the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well coated, about 3 more minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, bay leaves and paprika. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook 12 minutes. Add the chard; cover and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are tender and the chard is wilted, 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls; top with parsley, drizzle with olive oil and serve with bread.

SPANISH TRIPE STEW WITH CHICK PEAS, CHORIZO AND PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Soak the dried chickpeas overnight. Salt and pepper the tripe and pork and toss them with the flour. Heat the olive oil in a stewpot. Add tripe and pork. Cook until meats are lightly browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Add the onions, garlic, white wine. Scrape up the browned bits, then add the can of tomatoes with liquid, crushing the tomatoes by hand, the hot Spanish paprika, and the drained chick-peas. Stir to combine. Simmer over low heat for 4 1/2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure meats are submerged in liquid, adding more liquid if necessary.
• After 4 1/2 hours add 1/2 pound whole chorizo and cook 1/2 hour more. Remove the chorizo and slice it. Return it to the pot and serve.
