Monday January 25
LEEKS WITH TARTAR SAUCE
The only difficulty of this dish is in making the mayonnaise.
The rest comes down to cutting off the ends of the leeks and steaming them.
Nothing else.
MEXICAN MEATBALLS
The prodigious meatballs not only triumph in Spain: they also have their worshipers on the other side of the Atlantic.
This version combines them with the mole to transform them into a Mexican party.
GINGER, CARDAMOM AND BUTTER COOKIES
Smooth, spicy, buttery, sweet and dangerous, because you can eat 20 without realizing it.
This is how these cookies are, perfect to accompany a tea or chocolate on a cold winter afternoon.
Tuesday January 26
CAESAR SALAD OF BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND CHICKEN
This version has a sauce that requires a certain skill and Brussels sprouts instead of lettuce: dare to try it and you will repeat.
By the way, you will learn to make 'croutons' without fritanga.
PASTA GRATIN WITH BROCCOLI AND PINIONS
Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and with enough broccoli to count as a vegetable dish and its detractors have no complaints.
If you are looking for a good reason to turn on the oven, this is it.
SEASONAL FRUIT: MANDARIN
Okay: the smell of tangerines is not easy to remove from the fingers, but it is a lesser evil compared to its juiciness.
Wednesday, January 27
CREAM OF CARAMELIZED CARROT, ORANGE AND YOGURT
The secret to achieving the explosion of flavor is to sauté the carrot with butter adding a little bicarbonate of soda.
VEGETABLE FRUITS AND THEIR SAUCE
With some fresh or frozen chard and some common ingredients you can prepare delicious fritters and a sauce to accompany them.
CHEESE AND CARAMELIZED BANANA MINITARTES
The sweetness of the banana makes it one of the favorite fruits in confectionery.
In this recipe it is caramelized with a little brown sugar and added to a classic 'jetapostre': the cheesecake.
Thursday January 28
NIBS WITH SALMON
Although its price was high before, smoked salmon has become an affordable ingredient that we can celebrate with this classic salad: serving it on a Duralex plate is optional, but highly recommended.
COD AL PILPIL (AND A LITTLE PARSLEY)
Cod al pilpil compensates for its simplicity in ingredients with pure technique.
The challenge is to get the oil scented with garlic and chilli to emulsify with the gelatinous water released by the fish.
SEASONAL FRUIT: ORANGE
We are sorry to tell you that oranges do not cure colds, but they are still very tasty.
Friday January 29
SPINACH AND RICOTTA NAPOLITANAS
The pleasure of biting into a puff pastry is combined with a creamy filling thanks to the cheese, with the freshness of spinach as an addition and a touch of citrus and spice to finish.
COCKLES WITH HAM
A priori the combination of these two products may seem strange.
Absolutely.
Cockles and ham make a great pair in this dish to serve as an appetizer.
FELIPES FROM FORNOS
We recover some Madrid cakes from the beginning of the last century.
Because the endangered desserts give us almost the same penalty as whales, lynxes or bee-eaters.
Saturday January 30
CABBAGE CAKE
A classic savory cake with an egg and liquid cream base that enriches the cabbage with a sofrito of leek and bacon.
It can be served with tomato sauce, a powerful vegetable cream or mayonnaise.
SEASONAL FRUIT: KIWI
td {border: 1px solid #ccc;} br {mso-data-placement: same-cell;} Kiwi is in season and is one of the fruits with the highest concentration of vitamin C. Ideal for coping with the cold.
Sunday January 31
GRATIN ENDIVES WITH HAM AND BECHAMEL
This typical dish of Belgian gastronomy brings endives to their maximum splendor.
If you don't usually cook or eat this vegetable, this recipe is perfect to start with.
MANDARIN GLAZED CAKE
Pastry and citrus get along very well.
Don't you get along so well with her?
Show yourself that you can with this tangerine glazed cake.
The weekend drink
