This is a seriously authentically flavoured oil, which was utterly delicious as an accompaniment dip for my bourbon maple red onion and feta sourdough bread (yes, this infused bread was made with one of the balsamics). The smokiness was the perfect intense-level for me personally, and it brought my appetiser to a whole new level. One of your best!
Rustic Spanish Stew with Potatoes, Cod, and Hard Boiled Eggs
This traditional stew is the perfect solution for the pre-service or pre-Easter egg hunt meal. A hearty, easy-to-prepare, and flavorful assortment of onions, garlic, tomatoes, chickpeas, potatoes, spinach, cod, and hard-boiled eggs simmered in a saffron-sherry seasoned broth. We used our Roasted Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wine Vinegar in this recipe for aromatics and elevated flavor. Delicious!
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Roasted Garlic Infused Olive Oil
1/2 cup yellow onion, peeled and diced
5 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 cups yellow potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons Pedro Ximenez Sherry Vinegar
1 hearty pinch saffron
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
8 ounces cod fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
Fleur de Sel, to taste
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and halved
Fresh chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, potatoes, broth, vinegar, and saffron to the pot, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue to cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potatoes are tender. Add the spinach and cod, gently stir to combine, and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes or until the cod is cooked and the spinach has wilted. Season to taste with salt. Divide the stew between bowls and top with hard-boiled eggs and chopped chives before serving.
