One of the most typical dishes of the Catalan tradition is the Christmas roast , which is prepared every year to share with the whole family and friends
When we talk about dishes as traditional as this, most of us are of the opinion that "my grandmother's is the best" , but maybe it's time to learn how to cook it yourself, right?
Serves ;4
ingredients
1 chicken of 2 ½ kg.
4 large onions
4 shallots
4 tomatoes
½ kg. of small potatoes
24 figs
24 plums
A handful of pine nuts
1 sprig of thyme
1 sprig of rosemary
1 head of garlic
2 glasses of brandy
Salt
Olive oil
100 g lard
Preparation
In a saucepan with plenty of oil and the lard, put the chicken cut into octaves and salted.
Roast it over low heat, turning the pieces so that they are all well roasted. Add the onions cut into thick pieces and the shallots, thyme, rosemary and whole head of garlic.
Soak the plums in a container with the brandy. Boil the potatoes with the skin in water and salt. Make sure they are not overcooked.
When the onion starts to be ready add the tomatoes cut into pieces. When the stir-fry is ready, add the potatoes, plums and brandy.
Leave to cook for about fifteen or twenty minutes on low heat, until the alcohol evaporates. When five minutes are left, add the pine nuts and potatoes
