Slow-cooked Broad Beans with Poached Egg

by Jose Pizarro from Basque (Hardie Grant)

Ìý

Makes 6 as a starter

Ìý

Prep time:ÌýÌýÌýÌý 5 mins

Cooking time: 50 mins

Ìý

In Spain we love to cook broad beans for a long time until they become really soft and nutty. Buy the broad beans as young as you can because then you will not need to double pod the beans; or use frozen beans and keep the recipe up your sleeve for last-minute dinner parties. You can serve this as a starter or as a side dish for grilled fish or meat.

Ìý

Ingredients

3kg broad beans

100ml olive oil

3 medium shallots, finely chopped

150ml dry white wine

750ml fresh vegetable stock

6 free-range eggs

150gÌýÌý pecorino, roncal or idiazabal cheese, shaved

small handful finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

freshly ground black pepper

extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle

Ìý

Method

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Pod the broad beans.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý In a saucepan, heat the oil over a medium heat, add the shallots and cook for 10 mins until lightly golden and soft. Add the broad beans and mix together well, cooking for another 5 mins, then add the wine, bubbling for a minute or two to reduce the alcohol. Add two-thirds of the stock, cover and cook for a further 30 mins, adding more stock if the broad beans start to get too dry.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Meanwhile, poach the eggs in a medium saucepan of salted simmering water for 3 mins or until just cooked and ready to serve.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Spoon the beans into six warmed bowls, top with a poached egg and scatter with the cheese, parsley, black pepper and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

Aubergine, Honey and Blue Cheese Tortilla (Omelette)

by Jose Pizarro from Basque (Hardie Grant)

Ìý

This is proof of how versatile an omelette can be. We cooked this at my little tapas bar José.

Serve hot or cold, it really doesn’t matter. It’s delicious.

Ìý

Serves 4

Ìý

Prep time:ÌýÌýÌýÌý 10 mins

Cooking time: 50 mins

Ìý

Ingredients

500ml olive oil

300gÌýÌý aubergines, sliced

200gÌýÌý waxy potatoes, sliced

8 free-range eggs

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

75g blue cheese

2-4 tbsp honey (Nigel used 3!)

Ìý

Method

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Heat the oil in large pan and very gently fry the aubergine and potatoes for2 5–30 mins until the potatoes are tender. Drain well (reserve the oil to use later). Break up the potatoes into smaller pieces with a spoon.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Beat the eggs with plenty of seasoning in a large bowl. Add the cheese and honey to the vegetables and mix well. Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of beaten egg and gently mix.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil in a 23 cm non-stick frying pan. When the oil is hot, pour in the omelette mixture. Swirl the pan over a high heat until the mixture starts to set around the edges, then reduce the heat and cook for 4–5 minsÌý until it just starts to set and the bottom and sides are golden, but it is still quite loose in the middle.

·ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Cover the pan with a flat lid or board and turn the tortilla carefully onto it. Don’t worry that it is still quite runny – it will all come back together when you continue to cook it. Slide the tortilla back into the pan, then put the pan back on a low heat. Use a spatula to tuck the edges of the tortilla under to give it its characteristic curved look. Cook for a couple of minutes, then turn onto a board and serve. It should still be lovely and juicy in the middle when you cut into it.
