Arepa

History

A

repa has its origins hundreds of years ago; cooked by the various

indigenous tribes across the areas that are now Venezuela and Colombia.

Arepa represents daily masa bread. It is eaten across various socioeconomic groups, at all times of day. The arepa has its name from the word erepa, the indigenous word for this corn ‘pita’.

Until the 1950s, when areperas (joints or restaurants serving arepas to the public) were a few, arepas were eaten primarily as a bread or side to food.

When arepas started growing in popularity, people became more innovative with their fillings. Initially the filled arepa was referred to as “tostada” but now it is simply called a filled AREPA or AREPA RELLENA. The fillings vary and there are no rules (just like with any sandwich, fillings are endless). Some recipes have now become tradition.

6

Ingredients Cornmeal Salt to taste Warm water Cheese Beef

Preparation 1. First we pour a cup of cornflour, two glasses of water and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

2. Then, knead everything and make with the dough the shape of arepa.

3. Later fry them for ten minutes, cut them in halves and add the beef strips and grated cheese.

Hummus History

T

he origins of Hummus come from the thirteenth century. In fact, the chickpea was discovered in about 3000 BC, and it is thought to be the first vegetables to be grown. Hummus is a chickpea puree whose ingredients are:

Ingredients

400 grams of cooked chickpeas

2 tablespoons of Tahini

Olive oil

Half clove of garlic

Salt

Sesame

Water

The juice of half a lemon

Cumin

Sweet paprika

8

Preparation Making hummus is one of the easiest recipes out there. It is as simple as putting all the ingredients and grind them. In this case we have left the olive oil and the paprika to season it later.

1.

If you use good chickpeas, cooking will surely come out much better.

2. After grinding everything we serve on a plate. There must be a creamy texture to be able to catch with a loaf of bread. If we get that texture and see that it is very thick, we pour water and ready.

We serve with paprika of the Vera above and a trickle of olive oil.

Olivier Salad (Russian Salad)

History

T

he actual history is that the salad was invented in the 1860s and named after its creator, chef Lucien Olivier. This Belgian (who may have been originally French), ran a Parisian-style restaurant in Moscow called “Hermitage."

The salad made his elite establishment one of the Russian capital's most talked about and frequented establishments. Olivier carefully guarded the recipe as a trade secret, always preparing it himself – and in fact took the recipe to his grave.

It survived via two derived sources. One version was stolen by an employee who was able to sneak a look at the work station while the great chef was called away. Another was developed by a one of the restaurant's regulars who sought a way to keep the salad going after the chef was gone.

Stuffed Tomatoes History

T

omato history has its origins traced back to the early Aztecs around 700 A.D; therefore it is believed that the tomato is native to America. It was not until around the 16th century that Europeans

were introduced to this fruit when the early explorers set sail to discover new lands. Throughout southern Europe,the tomato was quickly accepted into the kitchen, yet as it moved north, more resistance was apparent. The British, for example, admired the tomato for its beauty, but believe that it was poisonous, as its appearance was similar to that of the wolf peach.

Serves 6 people

Ingredients 8 tomatoes 1 olive tuna can cocktail sauce 2 lettuces 1 hard-boiled egg salt 4 crab sticks pepper

15

Preparation 1.

First of all, we wash the tomatoes well.

2. Next cut the top part. We empty them, and for this you can use a dessert spoon.

3. Chop the lettuce and reserve it in a bowl, in which we will mix all the ingredients.

4. Put the tuna to drain in a colander, while you chop the hard-boiled egg and the crab sticks. Once all the ingredients are ready, mix them with the lettuce.

5. Add cocktail sauce to the mixture. With a dessert spoon, stuff the tomatoes with the mixture, add a pinch of salt and pepper.

6.

Finally put the stuffed tomatoes in the fridge before eating and …

Tudela artichokes with cured ham History

I

learnt this recipe from Clarisas Nuns of Tudela, Navarra and I've chosen artichokes due to its benefits and also because I adore them and make me feel very good and clean inside.

Artichokes (Cynara cardunculus) are native to the Mediterranean region, and play a major part of their cuisine on a number of levels. Artichokes can be found throughout Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, but they are less frequently encountered in Asian nations.

17

Nutritional Value of Artichokes Artichokes are low in saturated fat and cholesterol, while being a rich source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. They contain vitamins which include vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin B-6, B-12, A, E, D and vitamin K. Artichokes also provide minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, sodium, potassium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc.

Tudela artichokes with cured ham Serves 4 people

Ingredients 12 artichokes 1 onion 6 cloves garlic 100 gr cured ham 250 gr. clams (optional) 1 tbs. flour 2 tbs. olive oil, pinch salt Parsley Meat /artichoke broth

18

Preparation 1. First, rinse the artichokes in cold water, remove the external leaves and trim the stem.

2. Next, chop off the artichoke tops with a sharp knife and put them in a bowl with water. Rub them with a lemon to prevent them from decoloration.

3. Then fill a pot with water and when it starts to boil, add the artichokes one by one to avoid the water stop boiling and keep there for about 20m. You can add a pinch salt and lemon if you like.

4. Low the heat, so that the artichokes do not break down.

5. Meanwhile, fry the chopped onion in a pan with the chopped garlic cloves and the sliced cured ham. Then add a little artichoke broth to the mixture and stir.

6. When all the ingredients are golden, remove the pan from the heat and add the flour.

7. Drain the boiled artichokes and pour the onion sauce over them.

8. Finally, serve the artichokes hot in a beautiful dish. You may decorate with fresh parsley.

19

And the result is...

There is a variation on this recipe. You can add 250 gr. clams to the previous sauce, with a little more broth, and cook for 5 minutes together with the artichokes.

Hake Tacos History of Tacos

T

he taco is an essential dish of Mexican cuisine. There is no exact history of where and when they came about.

It is believed that the origin of the taco started in Mexican mines, in the 19 century. The first type of taco was “taco de minero,” which means miner’s tacos. The word taco was originally referred to pieces of paper that miners put around the gunpowder. They used them to make holes in the rock. th

The taco is a new dish, compared to some of the other Mexican foods that are dated in Aztec times. For many years, taquerías (taco shops) were oriented to working classes. Many women brought tacos to Mexico D.F. to sell them. As a result, it appeared many kinds of tacos.

The popularity for the taco came from Taco Bell, a popular fast food franchise. The taco came to the United States through migrants that traveled to the Los Angeles area in the early 1900s. The tacos that were sold in the U.S. were not as traditional as Mexican tacos.

Even though it is surprising that tacos did not exist in the Aztec days, tacos are now a Mexican important dish. It is also one of the most popular and delicious Mexican foods.

Locro

L

ocro is a generalized practice to commemorate Argentina's national holiday, in particular May Revolution Day (May 25th) as a symbol of the country.

Although locro is a typical dish of our native gastronomy, it is not of local origin. Locro is a hearty thick stew popular all over South America. It is a classical Ecuadorian dish and is also a dish in Peruvian cuisine.

Locro is a food with many calories and nutrients, suitable to consume during the cold winter days.

Ingredients Serves 2 people 1 cup tripe Pigs' feet 1 cup beans 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon sweet paprika Ground black pepper and salt to taste 1 soupspoon olive oil 1 cup sweet potato 1 large potato Chopped spring onion for garnish

26

Preparation 1.

Soak the dried white corn in at least two cups of water, at least for 12 hours – preferably overnight.

2. In a large, heavy-based pot, cook the onions, garlic, leek, stewing beef, sausages, pigs' feet and tripe if you’re brave, and bacon in a little vegetable oil until the onions are translucent.

3. Then add the cumin, paprika, a little salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the white corn kernels and then add enough hot water to cover the ingredients by about 2 inches.

5. Add the vegetables and the lima beans, if using. Bring the whole thing to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for around two hours.

Check the pot every 20 minutes or so and stir.

27

6. After two hours remove the pan lid and continue to cook over a low heat. Remove the bones. Mash the vegetables slowly, and as the starch gets released, the mixture will thicken into a stew.

7. Continue mashing and cooking until you have achieved a rich, thick consistency. Add a little more salt to taste and

Risotto with mushrooms History

I

ts name comes from the Word “riso”, rice in Italian. It came from Milan in 1574, in the Renaissance. The most spread version was invented by an Italian man, who, in his wedding, ordered a simple

plate of rice but coloured with saffron. This spice was native to south-west Asia, but it hadn´t been used in gastronomy until that moment. Saffron was also highly appreciated in the Classic Greece for its colouring and aromatic properties. It was used as a remedy to sleeplessness and to reduce hangovers caused by wine. It was also used to perfume bathing and as an aphrodisiac.

In China it was used as fabric dye.

Risotto is cooked in a broth to a creamy consistency. The broth can be derived from meat, fish, or vegetables. Many types of risotto contain butter, wine, and onion. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy.

Serves 4-6 people

Ingredients

75 gr Parmesan grated cheese 2 cups and a half water 20 gr butter olive oil salt chopped parsley

300 gr rice 1 chopped onion 10 cl white wine 200 gr fresh mushrooms 200 gr dehydrated mushrooms

Salmorejo cordobĂŠs or Porra antequerana

T

he first written note referred to the Salmorejo is contained in the dictionary of the RAE of 1737, then known as the dictionary of Authorities. In that moment it was described as a kind of sauce which was frequently used in rabbit stews.

Mazamorra, which is considered the predecessor of salmorejo, and with a very similar recipe, was a staple food for the Roman troops.

Apparently, they were real experts in mashed recipes of this type.

Eventually, it also became a staple to the shakers in the Andalusian olive groves. So much so, that if they had no bread of the day before, they replaced by the so-called "poor flours" such as dry bean meal and lupins.

Regarding the Porra Antequerana, the origin of this recipe comes from the Imperial Rome, where farmers prepared it by tapping with a stone with the shape of a truncheon on the ingredients which were in a bowl of wood. The obtained mass was called salmorium and was eaten as lunch. In their conquest of the province which would be called Hispalis, basically the current Andalusia, they left this dish that centuries later and after the conquest of America locals added tomato and pepper.

34

Benefits of Salmorejo or Porra Antequerana This delicious dish protects your heart and helps anti-aging. It is also an isotonic culinary preparation with great interest in summer since it hydrates, provides vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which come from the vegetables, along with lycopene from tomato, a micronutrient that has the potential to significantly reduce the incidence of cancerous diseases of prostate, lung and intestinal tract, at the same time acting as a cardiovascular protective and anti-aging.

Ingredients Serves 4 people

1 kilo of ripe tomatoes 200 gr. of stale bread 1 clove of garlic 1 green pepper (Porra Antequerana) Virgin olive oil White vinegar.

Salt

Accompaniments A hard-boiled egg Spanish or IbĂŠrico ham.

Tuna (Porra Antequerana).

35

Preparation 1.

Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds and cut into pieces.

2. Remove the seeds from the pepper and cut into pieces (We will add peppers in case that we want to do a Porra Antequerana) 3. Peel the garlic and cut it into 3 or 4 parts.

4. Put these ingredients that we have prepared in a large bowl and blend them until it gets uniform.

5. Chop the bread, add it to the tomato mixture and let it soak a few minutes.

6. Add a bit of olive oil and vinegar to the mixture and salt to taste.

7. We start to blend again with the mixer in order to mash the bread and add more salt if necessary. We refrigerate...

8. In the end we add Spanish ham and eggs already sliced on the top, and in case of Porra Antequerana tuna is added.

Moroccan Chicken Bastila (Pastela)

History

T

he dish would have been one of the favorite dishes of the Sultan of Fes in Morocco. He would have asked a famous Spanish chef if he could make the dish Judhaba more delicious for his guests. Today,

the dish Bastilla is the official dish of the city of Fes in Morocco.

The name of the pie comes from the Spanish word 'pastilla' meaning in modern Spanish either "pill" or "small pastry" after the transformation of the phoneme "p" into "b" that is specific to the Arabic language. It is an elaborate meat pie traditionally made of squab. As squabs are often hard to get, shredded chicken is more often used today; pastilla can also use fish or offal as a filling. Pastilla is generally served as a starter at the beginning of special meals.

41

Ingredients

Serves 4 people

For the pastry

For the filling

1 kg warka pastry teaspoons icing sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 6 eggs 150g almonds (toasted and roughly chopped) 1 cinnamon stick

150g butter 1 Chicken 3 onions

Preparation 1. In a wide pan, melt 100g of the butter, then add the chicken, onions and cinnamon stick. Cover with water, season well with salt and cook over a low heat for an hour.

2. Remove chicken and turn up the heat; reduce the mixture while you remove the meat from the bones, shred it and add back into the pan.

Add the chopped almonds.

3. Break the eggs into a bowl and gently whisk, pour two thirds into the chicken mixture and stir, cooking over a medium heat until little bits of cooked egg appear. Taste and add salt to get it, savoury and exotic. Preheat oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.

4. Melt the remaining butter in a small pan. Lay three sheets of filo pastry out on small side plates, and butter each sheet lightly with a pastry brush. Repeat to layer it three times, buttering the filo as you go.

42

5. Using a slotted spoon, put a third of the chicken mixture into each of the filo piles, leaving the excess liquid behind. Then fold over the sides of the pastry to make a sealed, round parcel. Paint each pastilla with any of the remaining butter and the last of the whisked egg to seal them.

6. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 45 minutes until the filo is crisp and brown. Dust with icing sugar and cinnamon and eat while hot.

pizza was probably the focaccia, a flat bread

known

to

the

Romans

as

panis

focacius, to which toppings were then added.

Ingredients Pizza dough 1 kg of wheat flour.

560 ml litre of cold water.

25 gr. salt 25 ml extra virgin olive oil.

Preparation 1. Put the flour in a bowl and add the salt. Make a hole in the center and add water and olive oil. Knead everything well until you get a homogeneous and compact dough that does not stick to your hands.

Let stand the dough for a few minutes. Divide the dough into 2 or 4 pieces (depends on the size of the pizzas you want to prepare).

2. Sprinkle with flour a smooth surface and place a portion of dough on top. Spread it with the help of the roll until it turns into thin dough (you can leave it more or less thin, according to the taste)

3. Place the dough, one at a time, on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

51

Topping

1. First, we clean the vegetables well. We chop the zucchini, aubergine and red pepper into thin strips. Then, we chop the onion as well and we slice the York Ham. 2. Then we spread a layer of tomato sauce on the pizza base, making sure that it is distributed evenly. Put a layer of mozzarella cheese and then we will distribute the ingredients already chopped above.

Sprinkle with oregano.

3. Finally, bake the pizza at 180ยบ between 10 and 13 minutes, depending on whether we like it undercooked or very overcooked.
