GARBANZO STEW WITH MALANGA AND CALABAZA



Garbanzo Stew with Malanga and Calabaza image

If you're looking for an alternative to frigid carrots and exhausted potatoes during the winter, tropical root vegetables like malanga make a great base for comforting soups and stews as you wait out the seemingly never-ending cold. This rough brown vegetable, a staple of Cuban cooking, is often mistaken for taro root. Ranging from creamy white or yellow to purple when cut open, malanga can be fried, boiled, or mashed into a puree. In this garbanzo stew, it absorbs the flavor of the pepper, onion, and tomato sofrito, becoming pillowy and creamy without breaking apart while the chickpeas simmer and the calabaza melts into the broth.

Time 11h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dried chickpeas
Pinch baking soda
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound cooking ham, cubed
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup whole peeled, canned tomatoes in their juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (labeled pimenton)
1 dried bay leaf
1 pound malanga, peeled and quartered
1/2 pound calabaza (West Indian pumpkin), peeled and cubed

Steps:

  • Soak chickpeas in water with a pinch of baking soda overnight, 10 to 12 hours. Drain and rinse well.
  • In a large heavy pot, combine chickpeas with 7 cups of water. Bring to a boil then lower heat to medium, cover, and simmer until just tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain and reserve 4 cups of the cooking water.
  • To make the sofrito, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed ham and saute until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions, peppers and garlic and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, wine, paprika and bay leaf to the sofrito, roughly crushing the tomatoes. Return to a simmer and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • Return chickpeas to large pot with 4 cups of the reserved cooking water. Add the sofrito mixture to the chickpeas and bring to a simmer. Add the malanga and calabaza, and cook covered until the vegetables are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve on its own with bread or over rice.

GOLDEN SQUASH BLOSSOM CREMA: CREMA DE FLORES DE CALABAZA



Golden Squash Blossom Crema: Crema de Flores de Calabaza image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Yield about 7 cups, enough for 6 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 large white onion, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
3 cups good chicken broth
1 small boiling potato (like the red-skin ones), peeled and roughly chopped
25 large (3 to 4-inch) squash blossoms (these are the male blossoms with no squash attached)
2 fresh poblano chiles
1 cup milk
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 large ear of corn, husked, kernels cut from the cob
1/2 cup queso fresca, creme fraiche, or sour cream loosened with some milk or cream
Salt, about 1 1/2 teaspoons, depending on the saltiness of the broth
A little chopped epazote or parsley, for garnish

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.
