Today I have two corpse-free dishes. Finished but not plated, I realize just right now.
Added disclaimer: The corpse reference is a bad joke.
Another Valencian rice (bomba) with Jerusalem artichokes (I guess that's British since they are from North America), artichokes (the truly mediterranean ones) and mushrooms (Boluetus edulis, Calocybe gambosa and Craterellus cornucopioides). To the traditional sautéed (it's the best english? word I could find to translate
sofregit/
sofrito) I added a glass of
vi ranci, a kind of oxidized wine very common in catalan cook, and a bit of ginger powder, a combination I like very much, resulting in a sort of sweet and sour contrast. The center
laurus nobilis leaf it's added at the end for aromatizing purposes. The first picture it's just before the rice is added.
Cooked with my new
acquisition, a carbon steel
paella but thicker than the traditional ones that doesn't get deformed by heat and hence it's adequate for electrical cook.
A curious fact you may don't know. The word
paella has been internationalized from spanish to refer the dish prepared with a
paella, a pan, in catalan, which is the origin of the word.
And... a traditional spanish omelette (
totrtilla de patatas) with a touch of milk cream and green garlic, cooked with my beloved de Buyer Alchimy.
Next time I'll come with some corpse, I promise.
Edit: And I'll try this revolutionary
@Raindog123's technique for frying potatoes. 500 years of spanish culinary corpus on how to fry potatoes are at stake here.
