SERVES

Serves 4-6

ingredients

  • 200g tomato, finely chopped
  • 50g Brindisa Iberico Pork Fat
IN STOCK
  • 100g onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jar Navarrico Tolosana Black Beans, rinsed and well drained
IN STOCK
  • 1 Tbsp Tap de Corti Mallorcan mild paprika
IN STOCK
  • 1/2 tsp Cirereta Mallorcan hot paprika (to taste)
IN STOCK
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 100g sour cream
  • Water
  • Brindisa North & South olive oil to drizzle
IN STOCK
  • Catalan oregano garnish

Method:

  1. Cook the tomato - on its own - in a non-stick pan over moderate heat, stirring as the tomato starts to dry. Cook until fairly dry, starting to darken and smelling "roasted".
  2. Leave the tomato in the pan and set to one side.
  3. Set a saucepan - with room for mashing - over moderate heat and soften the onion well in the pork fat.
  4. Add the paprikas, cumin and salt. Stir for a moment until the spices are fragrant.
  5. Raise the heat to medium and add the tomatoes. Deglaze the tomato pan with a splash of water and add that too.
  6. Add the beans and fry until they are gently sizzling.
  7. Remove from the heat and mash with a potato masher until the beans are a rough mash.
  8. Stir in the sour cream.
  9. Stir in any water required, a little at a time, until you have dipping consistency. Check for salt (remembering the saltiness of your dipping chips).
  10. Check for heat, if you want to turn up the volume stir in more hot paprika, 1/4 tsp at a time.


    Serve warm, lightly drizzled with olive oil and garnished with a light sprinkling of Catalan oregano. Accompany with tortilla chips or pita chips warmed in the oven - otherwise sturdy plain crisps.

     

    Little tip:

    For a vegetarian version, replace the pork fat with vegetable shortening/fat e.g. TREX.
    If you prefer the spiciness/heat to be more in the background, start with a 1/4 tsp of
    Cirereta hot paprika.
    For a Black Bean spread: Cook the mashed bean mixture over low heat, stirring frequently until quite thick and reduce the sour cream by half.

    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

    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.
