Meat in sauce from the Southeast Spain
Tuesday, October 13, 2015 @ 9:37 AM

      

      We feel already a little bit cold; so, we feel already like to eat something hot. Then, I should like to show you the recipe a dish very famous in Granada (South east of Spain): “Meat in sauce from la Alpujarra”. Although basically it is made only with meat and potatoes, there are differents ways to prepare, for example with potatoes and egg or with red pepper.

      But I am going to give you the basic recipe, for four persons. And the Ingredients are: 1 kg of meat pork to cook (the best part is the cheek).  2 onions.  2 cloves of garlic.  3 plum tomatoes.  1/2 liter of red wine of the Alpujarras.    4 medium potatoes.  Olive oil. Salt.  Ground black pepper.  Paprika.

      Well, to start, we cut the meat into cubes of four centimeters thick, and we put salt and black pepper. In a large pot, we put oil to heat over high heat; when it is hot, we add the meat and brown it, on all sides, to seal the juices inside. We take the meat out and we pour the onions and the garlic; while browning, we peel, remove seeds and chop the tomatoes. When the onions take color, add the tomatoes, give a few laps, put a pinch of paprika, we stir and add the wine, cook for half an hour, until the alcohol evaporates and grind. We put the meat in the pot, add water to cover, if necessary, and cook for half an hour. We have about salt and have already the meat.

      When stewing meat is half hour away, we put plenty of oil, for frying in a pan, over medium-high heat; while the oil is heated, we peel potatoes and chop into cubes of about two centimeters thick; when oil is ready, we pour and let them fry, until they are golden colour, we get to a tray with paper towels and salt it.

      If you want the sauce is a little bit stronger, you can marinate the meat, putting it, 4 hours, in red wine  --which you will use to cook, after it--.

     And it must be the result:

       To arrange on a plate, on four dinner plates, you have to pour the meat, sauce and throw it enough, on one side, put a pile of potatoes.

      And it must be the result:

This is another version of Meat in sauce, from La Alpujarra, even with fried egg

       I hope that you have liked the recipe and you try to cook it.

      Until my next post, kind regards,

Luis.

This looks absolutely fantastic! I can't wait wait to try it. Thank you for translating your recipe for us.

I will probably add some vegetables when I try it, and boil the potatoes before frying them.

Made this yesterday and it is absolutely delicious - however your picture shows something like carrots in the stew but no mention in the ingredients. Are they carrots?

Hello, Annapowell: Thank you for your comment. I think that in the first picture there are potatoes, although they seem to be carrots; I am sorry, but I could not find another picture, only with meat.My recipe has no carrot. Anyway, thanks and I celebrate that you have cooked this dish and you have enjoyed. Kind regards, Luis.
