Nuts Charamusca Recipes

Steps:

• Grate the Piloncillo with a normal cheese grater until you get the two cups. If you don´t have Piloncillo use the brown sugar.
• In a saucepan on a low temperature melt the first three ingredients stirring constantly with wooden spoon.
• Let it boil for aproximately 7 minutes or until a tough string of caramel is formed when you lift the spoon up . Remove from heat.
• Grease a long mold and pour the caramel trying to have it cover the whole mold trying to extend the mixture as far as you can. Meanwhile lubricate your hands with a little butter.
• When the mixture begins to cooldown , fold the corners towards the center trying not break them. As soon as the temperature pemits it try to form a ball with the caramel.
• Divide into several chunks, stretch and roll it a few times.
• Stretching it out several times before it cools, then dust with chopped nut. (the recipe doesn't specify which type of nuts. Almonds, Macadamians etc will work).
• Finally, give them a little twist to give it their "typical" form. They will look like a licorice stick only wider. A spiral staircase.
• Wrap each one in the waxed paper.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• First chop pork meat (neck and chops) into schnitzels and marinate at least 4 hours in: salt, pepper, sliced garlic and oil. Just mix all these ingredients with meat, cover and keep in cool place. This is also nice marinade for normal pork meat on grill; we use it a lot in Croatia.
• Grill meat and sausages on cauldron flat bottom part, and when done place them on the sides of the cauldron.
• Slice all potatoes into 1/8 parts. Slice onion into rounds or half-rounds. Put onion into oil where meat was grilling and sauté it until translucent.
• Add all paprika, sweet and hot, stir, add all wine and stir removing possible lumps from paprika. Add all sliced potato and if necessary some water to cover potato. Fire must be strong.
• Cook potato about 20 to 30 minutes or until soft. Try it and if necessary salt it more. At the end or last 10 minutes add meat into potato. Serve hot with lot of wine to drink (or beer).
