COCIDO MADRILEÑO (COOKED MADRID STYLE) - page 2 of 2 |
- Pour some sunflower oil into a large pot and let it heat up for a
minute. Throw in the fresh pork and beef and brown the on all sides to keep
the juices in. Put the meat in a bowl and set aside.
- In the same pot, add a little more sunflower oil and toss in the bell
pepper, tomatoes, and the diced onion. Sauté stirring occasionally, until
onions and pepper start to turn brown. Add half of the crushed garlic and
sauté for another minute.
- Place the meats, and chicken in the same pot, pig trotter on top, cover
with water and bring to a boil. Skim the foam from the surface, if any.
- Lower the flame until your pot is just slightly bubbling, throw in the
crushed peppercorn, salt, bay leaves and hot peppers, cover (leaving a small
sliver for steam to escape) and simmer for one hour.
- Add the chick peas (drained), whole onion, carrots, leaks and sausages.
In my case they ended up being Dominican longanizas. I could not find any
morcilla so I skipped that. Add the two glasses of wine, cover and simmer for
45 more minutes.
- Add the potatoes (in my case Idaho potatoes, scrubbed and
pricked with a fork to let out steam), and simmer for another 45 minutes.

Traditionally, the cocido is served as three courses. The chick peas and
vegetables may be placed in a cloth before they go into the pot and the potatoes
may be cooked separately - then they are served separately. First the soup with
noodles, then the vegetables, chick peas and potatoes, and last the meats.
I prefer the meats together with the vegetables. You may even serve the dish
without separating anything, as a thick soup. Anyway before serving, put a
little EVOO in a frying pan, heat is up briefly, add the rest of the crushed
garlic and stir it for a minute or so. When dishing out your meats and
vegetables, drizzle a bit of the garlic on top of the dish.
Bon Apetit! |
