INGREDIENTS
For 2 persons
- 4 pieces of Iberian cheeks
- 1 piece of Grand Smith apple
- 100 gr. leeks
- 100 gr. Red pepper
- 80 gr. Onion
- 30 gr. dry tomato
- 1 slice of ginger
- 1 garlic
- 20cl. Red wine
- Olive oil
- Pepper
- Salt
ELABORATION
- We wash the vegetables.
- Cut the white part of the leek into slices, the red pepper into strips and the onion into julienne strips. Crush the garlic with the skin and cut a little ginger into strips.
- Season the cheeks to taste. In a casserole, heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium/high heat; we mark the pieces of meat until they change to a toasted color. We remove to a plate.
- In the same casserole, sauté the garlic with the skin and all the vegetables over medium heat until they are soft.
- Once the vegetables are done, add the cheeks and the wine to the casserole. Mix and stir with a wooden spoon and then add half a liter of water.
- Ginger is included, which will give the stew a special touch and leave everything over low/medium heat for about 30/40 minutes, stirring from time to time until we see that the meat is tender.
- When there are about 5 minutes left, the apple previously peeled from its peel and cut into cubes is included in the casserole. This is how we get them to be crunchy and not overcooked.
- Plate and serve hot.
