Hblame En Murciano Recipes

BLANC MANGE (ENGLISH STYLE)

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of the milk into a saucepan. Add lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Bring milk to a simmer over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar. Whisk remaining milk into the cornstarch mixture. When the milk in the pan begins to simmer, pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan in a thin steady stream. Whisk vigorously and increase heat just a bit to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow the mixture to boil for about 20 seconds while continuing to whisk, then remove from heat. Remove the lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Stir in the pinch of cinnamon and, if using, the vanilla.
• Pour into a dish or mold, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Garnish with shaved chocolate just before serving.

TOMATO SALAD MURCIA-STYLE - AJOTOMATE MURCIANO

Steps:

• On a cutting board, smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a butcher knife. Work a little salt into the garlic with the edge of the knife to make a paste. Place in a blender.
• Peel and coarsely chop one tomato and add it to the blender. Pulse the tomato together with the garlic, until well blended.
• Add the vinegar, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, and paprika to the blender and blend until smooth.
• Add the olive oil and blend to mix well with the rest of the ingredients.
• Cut the remaining tomatoes crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange them on a serving platter single-layered or overlapping as little as possible.
• Pour the tomato vinaigrette over the sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cumin seeds.
• Serve at room temperature.
