  • Lamb stew

    Ingredients: Young lamb Flour Lard (I used olive oil) Homemade chorizo (optional) Onion Garlic blonde Sweet chili Pepper chilli Mint (or fresh pennyroyal) salt Preparation: Break the meat into pieces, coat them well in flour, shake off the excess and brown them in olive oil (the CTP rule is with lard, but choices must be made in these cases where health is at stake). Brown the onion and garlic in olive oil (or lard), add the remaining seasonings except mint (or pennyroyal) and a few slices of chorizo (optional, it's not the norm but I use it because I like it), then the meat and fat in that has browned, cover with water, then add salt, cover and let it boil over low heat for about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the toughness of the meat. When the meat is almost ready, add some potatoes, a few slices, a good sprig of mint or fresh pennyroyal, add more water if necessary and adjust the salt. Let it cook until the potatoes start to fall apart, and serve on the slices of bread, previously arranged on the plate, pouring the boiling sauce over fresh mint and bread, which must be firm by its nature and hard as it has been made for days. After the bread is well soaked in the broth, start eating and enjoying yourself, accompanying with a wine that you think matches.

    Ingredients fresh rosemary 1 onion 3 crushed garlic cloves Sweet Chili Powder ( paprika) 2 Tablespoons Wine Vinegar 2 tablespoons of lard White wine Salt and pepper Oil Preparation I cut the onion into thin slices. I put the chops on a small tray, rubbed them with the paprika, put the wine, the vinegar, the lard spread out in small pieces, the garlic, seasoned with salt and pepper, some sprigs of fresh rosemary, spread in the middle of the meat, and a little drizzle of olive oil, then covered it with a slice of onion. I let it marinate for about 3 hours. I then turned on the oven, changed them from the tray (although you can immediately put everything on the same tray that goes into the oven) and they went into the oven, at about 180 degrees. Transfer the onions to the bottom of the tray, place the chops on top, and the remaining ingredients. I watered them with the marinade, and as soon as I saw that they were browned and cooked, I took them out of the oven. For the Rice with Peas: The rice was simple, first I cooked the peas on the side. Then I made a stew with half an onion and a little olive oil, added a cup (tea) of rice, let it become transparent, stirring it constantly, added two cups of boiling water, corrected the salt, added the peas already cooked, I stirred, covered and cooked over low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, it is advisable to check, if necessary, pour a little more water. When ready, I turned off the heat and let it stay in the pan, covered, for a few more minutes. It was loose, and accompanied the meat very well.

  • Abrantes Olive scone

    Ingredients: 1Lt Water ½ Lt Olive Oil 50g fennel 100g walnut kernels 750g Yellow Sugar 3 Teaspoons of Cinnamon 1 kg flour (preferably unbleached) salt qb Confection: Start by turning on the oven at 250º and chop the walnuts into very small pieces. Then, in a pan add the Water, Olive Oil, Fennel, Yellow Sugar, Cinnamon and a pinch of Salt, stir all the ingredients well and bring to the boil until it boils, stirring from time to time to that the ingredients are involved. When boiling, remove from the heat, add the flour and the finely chopped walnuts, using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients well until they form a dough. (Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary) Put the pan back on medium heat, let the dough dry a little, about 3/5 min, so that some moisture can escape and, when stirring, the dough detaches from the walls of the pan. Place the dough on a tray or directly on the kitchen counter and let it cool for a few minutes. (But not much, just enough time to work the dough with your hands). While the dough is cooling, sprinkle two large baking trays with flour. Grease your hands with olive oil and remove a quantity of dough (about the amount of a tablespoon), shape small loaves with your hands, place them on one of the trays and make an effect on top with the help of a knife, (as you can see in the pictures), bake for 15 minutes. While a tray is in the oven, you can continue to make bread. When the first batch is ready, place the second tray in the oven. So, as you take a tray out of the oven, you immediately put another one in: it will be much faster and cheaper as it doesn't waste the oven's heat. When they come out of the oven, place the buns on a plate and sprinkle them with sugar to taste. Serves: 80/90 Breads Source and rights: http://areceitapartilhada.blogspot.com/2014/01/broas-de-azeite-de-abrantes-miguel.html
