Catalan Bean Stew

Recipe By : High-Flavor, Low-Fat Vegetarian Cooking/Steven Raichlen
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beans Lowfat
Vegan

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 dried red or brown chiles, such as pasilla
or New Mexican reds, or 1 tbsp Spanish
or Hungarian sweet paprika
3 cups vegetable broth
2 medium onion — peeled quartered
4 ripe tomatoes
6 cloves garlic — peeled
2 slices country-style white bread
3 parsnips or carrots — diced
1 potato — peeled diced
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 cups cooked fava beans or lima beans
1 cup cooked corn kernels
2 tablespoons sherry wine — or to taste
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar — or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tear the chiles in half and remove the stems and seeds. Soak the chiles in
the stock for 1 hour or until soft. If using paprika, dissolve it in the
stock. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the onions and tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil and roast
them for 20 minutes. Add the garlic and continue roasting for 20 minutes,
or until the garlic is soft and the onions are golden brown. Darkly toast
the bread in a toaster.

Transfer the chiles to a blender with a slotted spoon, reserving the
stock. Add the onions, tomatoes, garlic, and toast and puree until smooth,
adding stock as necessary to obtain a thick paste. Note: A blender works
better than a food processor for this purpose.

Transfer the chile mixture to a large, nonstick frying pan and cook over
medium heat, stirring often, for 3 minutes or until fragrant. Stir in the
reserved stock, parsnips, and potatoes and half the parsley and cook,
uncovered, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables
are just tender. The recipe can be prepared ahead to this stage.

Stir in the fava beans, corn, sherry, and vinegar and simmer for 5
minutes, or until the beans and corn are thoroughly heated. Correct the
seasoning, adding salt, sherry, or vinegar to taste. The mixture should be
highly seasoned. If the stew is too thick, add a little more stock. If too
thin, simmer the stew, uncovered, to evaporate the excess liquid.

Transfer the stew to a bowl or platter and sprinkle with the remaining
parsley. Rice or polenta would make a nice accompaniment.

Title: Old and Fresh Eggs
Categories: Chinese, Appetizers, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 batch

2 Preserved eggs
2 Fresh eggs
1 tb Chicken stock
1/8 Level teaspoon salt
Oil or fat
2 ts Soy sauce
2 ts Sesame oil
1/2 Level teaspoon MSG

This is another treatment of Thousand Year Eggs. It’s a bit more
complex than just eating them with a dip, but is still simple and
elegant. I’d consider the use of MSG as optional, but authentic. The
preservation of eggs by alkaline ash turns the white to brown and the
yolk to green. This colour change is actually very beautiful. Gently
crack the shells of the preserved eggs and remove the egg white
(brown) carefully, reserving it. Mash the yolks and combine them with
the fresh eggs, chicken stock and salt. Grease a bowl and pour in
the egg mixture. Steam it for about 20 minutes. When cool, loosen
the egg from the bowl, slice it in half and cut each half into thins
slices. Chop the egg white (brown) very finely, and arrange the
slices around it. Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil and MSG together, and
carefully spoon this sauce over the slices only. The sauce will
gradually seep into the egg.
