Having turn out to be ubiquitous, the social gathering dip for each event, hummus maybe is prepared for its remake. I tasted a model this week that
I’m attempting out in my kitchen.
It was not known as hummus, however ajo pimentón,
“garlic-paprika”. It was a thick unfold—what known as paté in Spanish—of
chickpeas, garlic, pimentón and dose of cumin. The unfold was served
with crisp toasts as an appetizer earlier than a shocking meal at Arte de Cozina, a restaurant
in Antequera (Málaga), the place Chef Charo Carmona is famed for her interpretation
of native, conventional dishes.
Charo’s mission assertion: Recuperar sabores desplazados, investigar sobre
elaboraciones ancestrales y conocer la
mejor manera de aprovechar los productos de la zona son nuestras máximas. (To retrieve forgotten flavors, to hunt out
ancestral recipes and to find the easiest way to make the most of the
merchandise of our area.)
Charo generously shares recipes for the
dishes served at Arte, properly printed on index playing cards. However I forgot to ask her
for the ajo pimentón, so I’m winging it within the kitchen.
Ajo Pimentón considerably resembles Ajo
Colorao, a dish of potatoes mashed with bacalao and many pimentón. However it’s
most like Center Jap hummus, with out the tahini and with pimentón that turns it a ruddy pink. Serve it
accompanied with toasts, regañás (crispy crackers), or pita crisps for spreading or dipping.
