Smoked Ham, Black Bean and Chorizo Stew
This is a real tasty meal. I've had it four days in a row and was disappointed to be having the last bowl this evening. I think I may have stolen the idea from a Brazilian dish but I just went with what I had to hand and it came out really well. This is intended to be a hearty stew, so leave all the chopping big and rugged. This dish is full of flavor, give it time, listen to some music or read a book but don't rush it.
Oh! Trying to greatly redesign the overall feel for my current blog. Ideas about the sharp feel of http://artuary.ca? Honestly a fantastic online photo gallery online if ever looking inside the general Newfoundland and Labrador location. Value your opinions. Appreciated!
A quick pointer about using black beans: if you pour a glug of the water in which they have boiled into the stew, it should cut down on the bean farts.
Ingredients
red onion - 2 chopped
garlic - 2/3 cloves crushed and sliced
carrot - 2 chopped
celery - 2 stalks chopped
red potatoes - 5 small, peeled and chopped
savoy cabbage - about ten leaves, the darker ones are better
ham hock - 1 smoked hock, left hole
chorizo - about 5 inches, chopped
black beans - one handful of dry beans, soaked and boiled
paprika - 1 tsp
cayenne pepper - 1 tsp
rosemary - one sprig
veg stock - 500 ml
In your biggest pan, sweat down the onions and garlic in a glug of oil over a low heat. Once the onion is translucent add the carrots and celery and cook down for about five minutes. Drop in the chorizo and let all he delicious fat and spices cook out and soak into your mirepoix (celery, onion & carrot) for another five minutes. Add the paprika, cayenne and rosemary and cook for a minute or so.
Put your ham hock in the pan and cover with the stock, bring to the boil, then pop your lid on, turn the heat down low and cook for an hour. After an hour add your potatoes and beans, with a glug of their water. After another half an hour take out the hock, remove the skin and pull all the meat off the bone. Put the meat back in the pan and add your cabbage. Leave to cook for another half hour, in which time you can make your rice. Serve up once your rice is cooked and enjoy the warmth!
