Black pudding, apple an Pine nut toast.

Today, Sabores de Carmen proposes a new recipe, You will love it!

Easy to cook, made with the best black pudding from  Ronda mountains, top quality apple and pine nuts. A delicious and surprising tapa that will not leave anyone indifferent. Let’s do it!

 Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of bread.
  • 1 granny Smith apple.
  • 50 grams of pine nuts.
  • 2 eggs

How to make it :

Fry the black pudding without the skin in a frying pan with a little organic extra virgin olive oil.

Before it is browned, add the apple cut into slices.

When the apple is soft, add the pine nuts and cook for a minute.

Add the beaten eggs and finish the scramble.

Spread the slice of bread with the black pudding and apple scramble.

Serve hot.

Enjoy it with a good glass of white wine in this occasion, I recommend a dry and fruity Jarel wine, a wine of great elegance, handcrafted in the Malaga Axarquía, which has little to envy the best fines de Jerez. Another drink that goes great and we love it at home is a very cold San Miguel beer.

TRADITIONAL RACLETTE RECIPE

Raclette mosaico 


This simple raclette recipe should be the first you try on your raclette grill or raclette melter. For 4 Persons.

 

Wash potatoes and boil in a pot filled with salted water for about 20 min. Leave the skin on! Test with a knife if the potatoes are done. Keep warm until ready to use in an insulated potato basket. In the meantime remove the rind of the cheese and cut into 1/16″ thick slices using an adjustable wire slicer. Arrange gherkins, onions, and Buendnerfleisch on a platter and set aside until required. Turn raclette on to begin to heat up (allow for at least 5 minutes before using). For Raclette grills: Each guest takes a slice of cheese, places it in their pan and slides it under the raclette grill to melt. It takes approximately 2 minutes to melt to a creamy consistency and 3 minutes for a more crispier top. In the meantime take a potato, place onto your plate and cut it into a few pieces, remove the pan from under the grill once it’s reached its preferred consistency and hold the pan onto its side to scrape the cheese out, using your wooden spatula. For Raclette melter, each guest prepares potatoes and side dishes on their plates. When the cheese starts melting on the wheel, scrape the cheese onto the plate. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper and paprika.
