Menú de Navidad rápido a base de pintxos vascos
Pastel de Bacalao Mechado
INGREDIENTES :
- Medio kilo de patatas
- 300 gramos de bacalao desmigado
- 2 latas grandes de pimientos del piquillo o 100 gramos de colas de gambas
- Una docena de olivas negras
- 1 diente de ajo
- 2 huevos
- 1 cucharada de perejil picado
- Levadura química (opcional)
- Mantequilla
- Sal
- Aceite virgen extra de oliva
En primer lugar desalamos el bacalao durante 24 horas en el frigorífico cambiando el agua al menos dos veces...¿que no tienes tanto tiempo? Desala durante 4 horas cambiando el agua cada hora y luego, justo antes de usarlo, pásalo un buen rato por agua de grifo corriente.
Cocemos las patatas con su piel en abundante agua hasta que clavando el tenedor se hayan ablandado lo suficiente para llegar al corazón. Pelamos e incorporamos al pasapurés. Añadimos el bacalao desmigado bien escurrido y damos unas cuantas vueltas para que se mezclen bien.
Engrasamos bien un molde de aluminio con mantequilla - no es necesario si tenéis moldes de silicona y lo rellenamos con la masa, vigilando que los pimientos queden bien distribuidos. Finalmente colocamos arriba del todo una capa de pimientos para mejorar la presencia.
Precalentamos el horno a 180 grados y horneamos durante un cuarto de hora - o lo que tarde en cuajar el huevo -. Luego tenéis dos opciones : servir caliente o bien frío. Está igual de bueno.

Greek sauce to marinate roasted and grilled meats
This sauce is used in Greece to marinate meats before grilling or roasting them. In Greece, roast meat is eaten well cooked. The natives of the country are very apprehensive about pink or red meats, let alone the bleeding ones. This means that sometimes, to make the inside of any piece of meat of a certain thickness, they almost "burn" the outside of it. To prevent it from being dry and burned, the Greeks resort to marinating that conditions the meat in such a way that it requires less time to cook. It also gives it a very particular flavor.
INGREDIENTS :
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons oregano, minced
- Half a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon onion, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon strong mustard
- 1 tablespoon of chicken broth
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Pepper to taste
We mix all the ingredients and with the obtained pasta we spread the piece of meat to be roasted. We let it rest in the cool - or in the fridge if it is hot, in the highest part of it - for at least 4 hours. Then we remove the excess (without exaggeration, that is, what we can scrape off the surface with a spoon but without leaving the piece completely clean) and direct to the grill or barbecue.
You will have the most tasteful roasts ever !
Sweet and Sour Pork
This oriental recipe is very easy to make and if you like Asian cuisine and the mixture of sweet and salty, you will love it.
- 1 Kg (2.2 lbs) of pork tenderloin
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce *
- 1 tablespoon of ginger
- 100 grams (3.5 oz) brown sugar
- 2 cups and a half of chicken broth
- Lemon
Lobster broth with saffron
Frozen lobsters usually appear around this time at a fairly affordable price whose quality is average. They may not be very suitable for certain types of cooking, but they are very useful for making soups, broths and other stews that make up for their lack of flavor. The lobster broth with saffron is an excellent starter that is easy to make and at a still affordable price. You will look very good with him in front of your visits.
INGREDIENTS (4 people):
- A lobster weighing half a kilo (1.1 lbs), more or less
- 2 onions
- 1 clove garlic
- A large carrot
- A stick of celery
- A little saffron
- A teaspoon of turmeric (it is to give more yellow color, but if the amount of saffron included is enough it will be dispensable)
- A branch of coriander or parsley
- A pinch of hot paprika (optional)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
In a large casserole with a generous drizzle of olive oil, add the onions, the carrot and the celery stick, cut in julienne. We also add the minced garlic clove without the germ.
We poach the vegetables with a little salt to make the onion sweat. When they are done we add the whole lobster and a liter and a half (7 cups and a half) of bottled water. Bring to a boil, covered casserole, and from that moment we count exactly six minutes (if the lobster were a kilo / 2.2 lbs, it would be twelve minutes).
After time we extract the crustacean, open it and remove all the available meat, including that contained in the tweezers. While we do this, the pot should continue to boil, covered.
We shred the meat and return it to the casserole. Add the saffron and if necessary, the teaspoon of turmeric. If you also want the soup a little spicy, add the hot paprika. Let it cook for a couple of minutes and then rectify the salt.
Serve with fresh cilantro or parsley roughly sliced and sprinkled on each plate. It goes without saying that the lobster meat and vegetables are served. A somewhat clear soup remains, like a consommé. To thicken it, if you want, you can add a little rice but it is not usually necessary.
¡ Feliz Navidad ! ¡ Merry Christmas !
