This
very traditional Spanish dish is the first of many cooked
during the Matanza period. It is a filling, warming
dish eaten at lunch time on the first day using the
first cuts of meat from the pig. The preparation is
a truly family affair, with young and old gathered round
the fire cooking this meal for the hungry workers. This
recipe was kindly demonstrated by Angelita and her family
at her annual Matanza to which we had the privilege
of being invited.
Ingredients
8
cups of water
8 cups of flour
olive oil
salt
bacon, cut into pieces
liver, cut into chunks
green pepper, sliced
Method
- In
a large pan, heat a little olive oil, and then add
the water.
- Add
salt to taste and then bring the water to the boil.
- Add
the flour and stir well.
- Lower
the heat and continue stirring. This process can take
up to an hour, so it is best to get help from the
family!
- As
you stir the mixture, add a little olive oil now and
then, to stop the mixture sticking, and break up the
lumps with a fork.
- Meanwhile,
gently fry the bacon, liver and peppers until golden
brown.
- Keep
stirring and mixing until, the flour has absorbed
the water and resembles breadcrumbs. Add oil as often
as necessary throughout, but only a little at a time.
- When
cooked, add the liver, bacon and peppers and mix.
- Serve
with sliced cucumber, grapes and tangerines.
The
best way to eat is to give everyone a spoon and just
dig in and enjoy!
