Garbanzo Stew With Malanga And Calabaza Recipes

Steps:

• Begin by making the glaze in a pot. In a medium sauce pot on a medium flame, add piloncillo, sugar, and the water. It should take about 10 minutes for the sugar to dissolve. Add canela and orange juice, cook for another 10 minutes and then begin to whisk in butter. Place quartered pumpkins on a sheet tray, and pour spoonfuls of glaze on each piece. In a preheated 400-degree oven, cook calabaza for 20 minutes until roasted through.

Steps:

• The broth: In a 4-quart soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Scoop out half of the onion and set aside. Add the broth and potato, partially cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
• The blossoms: While the broth is simmering, clean the squash blossoms: break off the stems, then the little green sepals that come out from the base of the blossoms (they originally covered the buds). Use your fingers to break loose the long pistils in the center of each flower and discard. With a very sharp knife, cut the blossoms cross-wise into 1/4-inch strips, including the bulbous base.
• Add half the blossoms to the broth and simmer 3 minutes. In a food processor or in batches in a loosely covered blender (or using an immersion blender), puree the mixture; return to the pot.
• The chiles: Roast the chiles directly over the gas flame, on a medium-hot gas grill, or 4 inches below a very hot broiler. Turn occasionally, until blistered and blackened on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes for the flame or grill, about 10 minutes for the broiler. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand about 5 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, cut out the seed pod, then quickly rinse to remove straggling bits of skin and seeds. Cut into 1/4-inch dice.
• Finishing the soup: Add the chiles to the soup along with the milk and reserved onion; bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the zucchini and corn, simmer a couple of minutes, then add the remaining squash blossoms. Simmer a couple of minutes longer (the strips of blossom will soften into deep-golden "streamers"), remove from the heat, stir in the cream, taste, and season with salt. Serve in warm bowls garnished with the chopped epazote or parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the calabaza. Season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven until tender, about 1/2 hour.
• In a large stockpot, heat 1/4 cup olive oil and saute onions, green pepper, red pepper, and garlic. Cook for about 8 minutes or until caramelized. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 more minutes.
• Deglaze with white wine. Add chicken stock and heavy cream and the roasted calabaza. Add the thyme. Bring to a boil. Simmer about 20 minutes. Puree all the ingredients. Strain the soup and adjust the seasonings. Garnish with vanilla-flavored whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil. Saute onion, bell peppers, and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add calabaza, potato, and tomato. Pour in water; stir in paprika and ginger.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Scoop out approximately 1 cup of the solids and process in a food processor or mash. Mix back into the cooker to thicken the stew. Serve hot and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Saute onion in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in tomatoes and next 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
• Stir in spinach and chopped parsley; cook 5 minutes. Top with crumbled feta cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Chop onions. Sauté in large pot over low heat in olive oil for 15 minutes.
• Add minced garlic. Saute 3 minutes.
• Add sliced sausage to pot, stir, sauté for a minute or two.
• Stir in tomatoes and spinach, stir.
• Add drained beans. If mixture looks a little dry, add some of the reserved bean water.
• Lid pot and simmer over low heat, 15-20 minutes, stirring often.
• When beans are somewhat soft, add fresh cracked pepper to taste, stir and serve with a Spanish red.
