Miquel Calent’s recipes: Pork and eel casserole

Ingredientes:

Eels
Pork cheek
Garlic
Parsley
Pumpkin
Leek
Tomato of “ramallet”
Majorcan blood sausage “Botifarrón”
“Patató”
Pepper “Tap de cortí”
‘Teme’
Sweet wine
Vinegar
Beef stock
Onion
Salt, pepper and olive oil

Preparation:

We first debone the cheeks and cut them into smaller pieces. Season the meat and sauté it over a high heat. When this has gone golden, we add some “brotet de teme” and soak it in broth of sweet wine and a little beef stock. We then put it in the oven for 3 hours at 135 degrees.

In a “greixonera” we brown off some sliced garlic and immediately add a few cubes of “camallot”. We then add a generous amount of leek to the “greixonera” and let it sweat. We cut the pumpkin into cubes and cook it further for two minutes. Boil the “patató” still in its skin, in salty water until it is cooked. Then slice into pieces.

We prepare the fillets of eels and marinate them in salt, good pepper, “tap de cortí”, a bit of vinegar and some olive oil. We then cover it up and bake it in the oven for 12 minutes at 120 degrees.
