Gitanos Style Stew – Olla a La Gitana

The stew of the Gitanos has nothing in common with the dish that is usually understood in Spain as Gitano stew. Here is the ‘real’ stew.

Soak the chickpeas for one night.

Carefully scrape and rinse the beef tongue. Blanch (scald) with boiling water, remove the skin, cook until tender in 2 hours, then chop. Place bacon, chicken, tongue and pork in a saucepan. Add enough water to cover and bring to a boil.

Drain the chickpeas and add to the saucepan. Cook everything for 45 minutes.

Peel and chop the potatoes and the pumpkin. Chop the chard without the stems. (If you are using cardoons: separate the stems from the leaves, peel off the skin and fibers and cut the stems into pieces about 7 cm long). Add the vegetables to the stew form, season with salt.

Before serving, pour off some of the clear soup and transfer to another saucepan. Add soup noodles or long grain rice and let the clear soup bubble up.

When the long grain rice or noodles are cooked, chop the mint with a chopping knife and add to the clear soup.

Bring the soup to the table first, then the stew.

Our tip: Use a bacon with a strong flavor – so you give this dish a special touch!
