HARICOT BEANS WITH QUAILS IN ESCABECHE

Haricot Beans with Quails in Escabeche
READY IN

3 hours

COOKING TIME

2.45 hours

PREP TIME

15 minutes

SERVES

4 people

ingredients

  • 2 quails
  • 3 tbsp Brindisa Arbequina olive oil
IN STOCK
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 100 g celery, finely diced
  • 200 ml chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp Unió Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar
  • 1 bouquet garni
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 400 g El Navarrico haricot beans
IN STOCK
  • 4 Brindisa hot guindilla peppers (pickled chillies)

METHOD

  1. Take the quails out of the fridge about an hour before cooking. Using kitchen paper, wipe the outside of the birds and inside the cavity. Cut them in half (or you can ask the butcher to do this for you.)
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot and brown the quails, starting skin-side down in the pan. Once the quails are brown, set to one side. In the caramelised meat juice, sauté the garlic cloves, carrot and celery for 5 min.
  3. Place the quails back in the pan and pour over the chicken stock and vinegar to balance the rich quail flavour.
  4. Bring to the boil, add the bouquet garni and salt, and simmer for 2 hours on a low heat. Leave the lid off to let the sauce reduce.
  5. Add the beans to the pan 15 minutes before serving to warm through and absorb the juice of the quail and vegetables. Season to taste and add a splash of the chillies’ pickling juice
  6. Remove from the heat and stand for 20 minutes before garnishing with the green pickled chillies and serving.

PAELLA VALENCIANA
PAELLA VALENCIANA

Paella Valenciana is the original paella, deeply rooted in the traditions of Valencia. Its name comes from the Valencian word for pan, reflecting the dish’s humble beginnings when it was cooked outdoors over a wood fire. The classic recipe brings together chicken, rabbit, beans, saffron and rice, with each ingredient adding its own character without overpowering the rest. A truly great paella is crowned with the socarrat - the golden, caramelised crust at the base of the rice. In Valencia, it’s still enjoyed the traditional way: eaten straight from the pan with wooden spoons.

CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO
CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO

Enhance flavour-packed chorizo by poaching it in cider, a classic Asturian tapa. For a twist, try using chistorra - a long, thin Basque chorizo. Cut into 2cm pieces, fry until the skin colours, then cover the chistorra with cloudy cider and simmer. The longer it cooks, the richer and more glaze-like the sauce. Serve with plenty of bread; your guests will want to mop up every drop of the sauce.
