Stew of aubergine, chickpeas and harissa Recipe


To prepare the chickpeas in the original way it's done in Tel Aviv: soak 150g chickpeas in water water with 1/2 tsp baking soda, for at least 12 hrs

The next day pre-heat the oven to 190°C. Cut the underside from a bulb of garlic, lightly oil a piece of alu foil, place the garlic upright on the oiled foil and close the packet and put in the oven for 40 mins.

Blacken 2 red paprika's under the grill, cool in a plastic bag, peel  and slice into strips.

Hack the rind of 1/4 preserved lemon very finely.

Take your highest (soup)pan, drain the chickpeas that have been soaking overnight, put them in the hot pan with 1/2 tsp baking soda and a little bit of water. Bake them for 3 mins, keep stirring and if necessary add water to avoid burning.

Transfer the pan to the sink and fill with2 liters of cold water. As soon as the peas are cold enough massage them between your hands to remove the skins. 

Turn the tap at full power, the peas will stay at the bottom and the skins will float to the surface. Pour out the water to remove the skins. Repeat this a few times

Transfer the peas to a low pan, refresh the water, the peas should be under 3 cm of water, and bring to the boil.

Skim off the foam and add a clove of garlic. Put on the lid and boil on a low fire till you can crush a ckickpea between 2 fingers, which will be after 30-35 mins.

In the meantime softly fry a sliced red onion and 6 cloves of black garlic, in a glug of oil, stirring from time to time.

Slice an aubergine into small cubes and add to the onion. Season with salt and fry for another 10 mins.

Add 1 tsp ras el hanout or Baharat, 1/2 tsp pimentos de la vera (dulce) and 1 tsp harissa, stir well and fry 2 minutes.

Add the chickpeas, a 400g can of tomato, 2 tsp tomato paste, the preserved lemon and the red paprika. Softly boil for 20 mins to create a thick sauce.

Squeeze the cloves of popped garlic into a bowl. Add 50g tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice and whisk, then slowly add about 50 ml water, bit by bit, to a sauce with the thickness of mayonaise. Taste and season with salt and maybe a bit more lemon juice.

Serve with coriander and a focaccia bread.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
