Spanish Cocido
"This is a traditional Madrid style stew. You can cook this quicker at a higher temperature, but it really is worth cooking it slower to get the beef very tender. I cooked this for a dinner party last week and it was a great success."

I was out of a lot of things...but wanted the taste of a cocido so I used this recipe as a base. I saute'd MORCILLA [blood sausage w/ rice] in the EVOO followed with onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Then added the marjoram, bay leaf, thyme, tomatos, and 1/4 cup of white wine and let that simmer for 5 min. Followed with 10 cups of water, 1 can of pureed chickpeas,1 beef bone and 1 cup of white beans [soaked overnight]. Then I let that simmer for 3 hours. The taste was just like home [Madrid]! My mom makes the best cocido and its hard to compare but this was delicious! -
I absolutely loved this! I did end up short of the 5 or so hours recommended, but I planned ahead for that and simmered for about 30 minutes, then put in the oven on 250 for 4 hours. It's lovely! Will make again, absolutely. Thanks for sharing! -
delicious no ham though?
