Pork Chickpea And Red Pepper Paella Florence Fabricant Recipes

Steps:

• Combine pork with mashed garlic, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside 20 minutes.
• Place 1/2 cup chickpeas in food processor with 1/2 cup stock; puree. Place remaining stock in saucepan, and add chickpea mixture to it. Add saffron, bring to a simmer and keep on low heat.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat remaining oil in 13-inch paella pan. Lightly brown pork, then remove to warm platter. Pork will not be fully cooked. Add red peppers to pan and saute over medium heat 1 minute. Add minced garlic, ham, piquillo peppers and remaining parsley. Saute 2 minutes.
• Stir in paprika, browned pork and any pork juices. Add rice and stir to coat. Add broth and remaining chickpeas. Salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook fairly rapidly, about 5 minutes, until rice is no longer soupy but there is still liquid in pan. Stir.
• Transfer to oven and cook until rice is almost done, about 12 minutes. Remove, cover with foil and set aside 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix 1 teaspoon paprika with salt and pepper to taste and rub all over meat. Set aside. Place bacon in a 3- to 4-quart casserole over medium-high heat and sizzle until lightly browned. Remove. Place pork in casserole and briefly brown on all sides. Remove.
• Reduce heat to low. Add peppers, onion and garlic and sauté until soft. Return bacon to pan, add remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika and cook, stirring, for a minute. Stir in marjoram, chickpeas and stock. Simmer, covered, about 30 minutes, until sauce has reduced and intensified. Stir in vinegar. Put pork in casserole, baste with sauce, cover and cook about 20 minutes, until done just shy of medium (an instant-read thermometer should register 130 degrees in the center of the meat; the temperature will increase as the meat rests).
• Remove pan from heat and season with salt and pepper. Leave casserole covered for 10 minutes. To serve, slice meat in medallions about ½-inch thick, arrange on a platter and spoon sauce around meat.

Steps:

• Coarsely grind red pepper flakes, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
• Generously season pork with salt, sprinkling more heavily on meat than layer of fat. Sprinkle with spice mixture, massaging into all spots so it adheres to pork.
• Roll pork as tightly as you can, then tie individual lengths of kitchen twine around roast every 1" or so. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour, or chill overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10-12 minutes total. Transfer pork to a plate.
• Remove pot from heat and dump out fat. Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and heat over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until exposed flesh turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and return pork to pot. Pour in wine and 2 cups water. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake, turning pork every 45 minutes or so, until pork is tender and pulls apart easily, 2 1/2-3 hours. Transfer pork to a plate and let cool slightly before tearing into big chunks.
• Return pot with braising liquid to low heat and add chickpeas and pork. Cover and cook until chickpeas and pork are warmed through, 12-15 minutes.
• Transfer chickpeas, pork, and braising liquid to a platter. Finely zest lemon over and top with parsley.
• Do Ahead
• Stew (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Add lemon zest and parsley just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat stock in a saucepan. Add saffron and set aside. Heat oil in a 12- to 14-inch paella pan or cast-iron skillet. Add sausages and sauté on medium heat until lightly browned. Remove.
• Add onion, bell pepper and garlic to same pan. Sauté until soft. Stir in paprika and rice. Stir in tomato purée. Strain stock and add. Return sausages to pan. Stir once, season liquid to taste and cook, uncovered, on medium about 25 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
• Remove from heat and place sheet of parchment paper on surface for 10 minutes. Remove parchment, scatter parsley on top and serve, making sure to include any crusty bits that cling to pan with each portion.

Steps:

• Place stock in saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add saffron. Set aside. Rub monkfish with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

• Add stock and stir. Simmer 10 minutes. Check seasoning, adding salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in peas and place strips of peppers, alternating colors, around pan like spokes on a wheel. Place shrimp and monkfish around pan; add mussels, hinge-side down.
• Place in oven and bake until shrimp and monkfish are cooked and mussels have opened, about 15 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil and set aside 10 minutes. Scatter scallions on top and serve.
