00:00It's September, so the video I've got for you today will be right up your alley.
00:05Three stews for the whole family.
00:09Easy, delicious, no complications.
00:11You have to make them, you know.
00:13Tell me in the comments which of the three you like the most,
00:16and I'll tell you at the end which one I like.
00:19Let's get started.
00:21First of all, beans with vegetables, no fat, and lots of flavor.
00:28I'll show you all the little tricks.
00:30We'll need 400 grams of beans, which in my region are called faves.
00:39They've been soaking for 12 hours since last night,
00:43so they get plump and look nice and fat like this,
00:47and now we're going to cook them.
00:5512 hours soaking in cold water, and we're ready.
01:01Let's start the recipe.
01:02I'll share all the little tricks.
01:03Stay until the end, and you'll see what a great dish this is.
01:06Come on, let's go.
01:08Here we have some vegetables, some garlic, some peppers, some onions.
01:12We're going to start preparing our flavorful base, just a little,
01:16because the first thing we're going to do is peel the garlic.
01:20Here's a good little trick.
01:22Cut them in half, and they'll peel super easily.
01:24There you go.
01:25Check it out.
01:26And once we have both garlic cloves, we're going to cut them.
01:29Enjoy.
01:30Like this.
01:31Make them thin.
01:33We want them thin.
01:38We're going to add flavor with an onion.
01:43So let's go.
01:44Slicing our onion, little by little, and then we'll continue with the peppers.
01:49Super easy.
01:50The truth is that combining the two peppers, the green and the red,
01:53with this red onion, turns out great.
01:55If you don't have red onion, regular onion is fine.
01:58Don't worry.
01:59It also makes an amazing stew.
02:01Let's go.
02:02And we'll have it ready in no time.
02:03Easy as pie.
02:11In addition to our onion, we'll chop half a green pepper and half a red pepper.
02:18Lots of vitamins.
02:20Lots of flavor.
02:22Incredible.
02:23It's going to take our legume stew, wow, to another level.
02:27That's how we want it.
02:29In little cubes.
02:30And the red one, the same way.
02:35Finally, into the pot it goes.
02:38There go our beans, along with the soaking water, which must have left some flavor.
02:44There it is.
02:45Here we're going to keep adding ingredients, and then we'll top it off with water until they're well, well, well
02:51covered.
02:54The garlic, freshly chopped.
02:56In it goes.
02:58Two cloves of garlic.
03:00We add our onion.
03:02Let me remind you, it was one onion.
03:04In this case, red onion.
03:06We also add the pepper, half a green pepper, and half a red pepper.
03:14A master touch with a teaspoon of paprika.
03:17Here it goes.
03:19Super flavor.
03:21Super.
03:22And we finish with a splash of olive oil.
03:24One or two tablespoons is enough.
03:26Don't let this little piece get lost inside.
03:29I love bell peppers.
03:35We add salt to taste.
03:37That's it.
03:43Just as we mentioned before, we finish by adding water.
03:47And now we'll cook on high heat.
03:49Don't worry, the beans are still hard and can handle it for now.
03:53It's part of a great little trick.
03:57You bet.
03:59Don't be alarmed because we're starting on high heat.
04:01There's the pot.
04:02Here, over there.
04:04We're using high heat because there's no problem.
04:06Since the beans are still very hard, and at the beginning of cooking, they hold up pretty well.
04:12And besides, we save a few minutes.
04:14Why do we need to use high heat?
04:16Because we need the broth to be super hot for the big trick, which is the tomatoes.
04:22Isn't it a pain to peel them?
04:25Well, you'll see.
04:27We just have to make a line like this on them.
04:30And like this.
04:33A little cross like this.
04:35And they'll peel themselves.
04:37See what a great trick that is, eh?
04:41We're going to add two medium-sized tomatoes like this one.
04:44Look, this is how it should look.
04:47And...
04:51So just as you see them, we're going back to the pot.
04:54There it is.
04:55Since it's on high heat, they're boiling like crazy.
04:58So what we're going to do is put them in there to soak.
05:08We leave them there for two minutes, and then we take them out, and they peel themselves.
05:13Amazing!
05:15All right, the two minutes are up.
05:20And I've got them now.
05:22Let's take them out.
05:24A bean almost slipped away, but no, I've got it back in there already.
05:28This.
05:31You'll see how they peel.
05:34We set it to medium heat, and we'll just let it cook on medium heat until the end.
05:53Look how they peel.
05:55Well, let's chop them.
05:58And as soon as we have them, we add them to the pot.
06:07Big chunks won't work.
06:08Big chunks won't work.
06:11There it is.
06:23Well, it's already cooking back there in the little pot.
06:26And I'm going to add the last vegetable, some carrots.
06:30I love them.
06:31I'm going to cut them into big chunks.
06:37Like this.
06:38Like this.
06:39Because the cooking time is long, I want them to turn out soft.
06:43But since the cooking time is long, they'll still turn out soft.
06:46And this way you can really see them, which gives it a really nice visual touch.
06:50So I'm going with the carrots, and I want to take this opportunity to tell those of you
06:54who aren't subscribed to do it, you just have to hit the little red button down below,
06:58the one that says subscribe.
07:00You'll be subscribed and get two or three videos every week, totally free.
07:04I keep adding the carrot, I keep adding the carrot, I add it as I go, and don't worry, because
07:07it will cook and it will turn out just fine.
07:17Here we go, there we go.
07:19In goes the carrot.
07:20We cover it and cook for between 90 and 120 minutes, between an hour and a half and two hours.
07:26So it's perfect.
07:27It took me about 90 minutes.
07:29And now they look amazing.
07:32It really depends on the type of bean, but I'm telling you, it's between 90 and 120 minutes.
07:38Look, how amazing it looks.
07:42This recipe can also be made in a pressure cooker.
07:45It will take about 20 minutes more or less, but you run the risk of the beans breaking or peeling.
07:53And it didn't turn out so well, so you have to keep a close eye on that pressure cooker to
07:56calculate the time.
07:57About 20 minutes more or less.
08:00Of course, you'll save time and money, because fuel is really expensive.
08:05And that's it.
08:06Let's eat.
08:07There you have it.
08:08Beans with vegetables.
08:09Very easy to prepare and super tasty.
08:14Make it every week.
08:16It's super healthy, filling, cheap and easy.
08:19What more could you want?
08:20Delicious.
08:22There you have it.
08:23Riz Razz, a little plate for you.
08:26And what else?
08:27What?
08:33A fantastic grandma stew.
08:36Meat with potatoes.
08:38With potatoes?
08:40Wow, it looks amazing.
08:42As simple as a drizzle of olive oil at the bottom of a pot.
08:46We wait for it to heat up, and here we sear our meat, one kilo of beef cut into pieces.
08:53Salt to taste.
08:55Here we go.
08:57Stir it and we leave it here until it's nicely seared.
09:01On the outside, look, that's how we want it.
09:05As soon as we have it ready, we take it out and set it aside.
09:11There it goes, all the pieces, and we'll keep these juices.
09:15Don't throw it away.
09:16Peace.
09:24We've just started, and our kitchen already smells amazing.
09:28Here you go.
09:29There you have it.
09:30The meat we set aside, and the juices, here.
09:33Let's move on to the vegetables.
09:35Let's chop the onion.
09:37Good morning, I'm BT, and this is La Cocina de la Abuela.
09:41And today I'm bringing you a recipe that brings back some incredible memories, of course, of my grandmother, meat with
09:48potatoes.
09:48Is there any recipe more like a grandma's than this one?
09:51My grandmother used to make it a lot.
09:54It always turned out amazing.
09:55And like I said, she taught me the recipe.
09:58And now I'm going to teach it to you.
10:00So for now, let's start chopping onion, pepper that I have over there, and a couple of garlic cloves I
10:07have around here.
10:08And the meat.
10:09As you saw, I set it aside, but I still have the pot there with all the sauce.
10:13Don't throw it away.
10:14That's important.
10:20So we finish chopping our onion, and then we move on to the pepper.
10:25Snip, snap.
10:28In little cubes.
10:30Here it goes.
10:33Next, the garlic, finely chopped.
10:36That's how we want them.
10:37And from here to the pot, medium heat.
10:40We're always going to cook on medium heat.
10:43In they go.
10:47We cook a little bit, and as soon as it heats up, we add the chopped onion.
10:53One onion.
10:55There it is.
10:56And of course, our pepper, chopped.
11:02Red pepper, red pepper works, green pepper works, and even yellow pepper works.
11:10We add a pinch of salt, stir, and wait five minutes until it's nicely sauteed.
11:15That is, until it gets that nice golden color.
11:19After that time, it's time for the paprika.
11:22A teaspoon of sweet paprika.
11:28Half a teaspoon of thyme.
11:36And just with this, it already has an incredible aroma and flavor.
11:50A small glass of wine, 200 milliliters in.
11:55You are going to add wine.
11:56But don't worry.
11:58But don't worry, because we let it sit for five minutes so the alcohol evaporates, and then
12:02you won't be stumbling around the house.
12:04Even so, if you don't want to use wine, don't worry.
12:06It also works with water.
12:09All right.
12:10Five minutes of cooking have passed, and we add our meat back into the pot.
12:15The beef broth goes in as well.
12:19There we go, 250 milliliters of beef broth.
12:23About a cup and a half.
12:25There it goes.
12:27We stir it, and cook everything together for about 20 minutes.
12:32Medium heat, let it simmer, and keep it well covered.
12:42Well, the meat that's there still needs a bit more time, so I'm taking the opportunity
12:46to prepare the side dish.
12:48I'm going to add three potatoes, and also two carrots like these.
12:54It's going to turn out great.
12:55We just peel them and cut them into big chunks.
12:59As soon as that's ready, we'll add them.
13:00It'll turn out really thick.
13:02It'll turn out really good.
13:04All right, while I finish up, I want to remind everyone who hasn't subscribed yet
13:08to do so.
13:09You just have to hit the little red button down there that says, subscribe.
13:13You'll be subscribed, and right next to it is the little bell activated.
13:17You'll get notifications every time I upload a video.
13:20Two or three times a week at least, and all completely free.
13:23Join us, we're almost 600,000.
13:27It's worth it.
13:28All right then, I'll have this ready in a moment, and we'll continue with the recipe.
13:32It already smells so good.
13:35It smells just like my grandmother's kitchen.
13:37Exactly the same.
13:38You have to make this because it's going to bring back some great memories.
13:41Incredible.
13:43We chop the carrot.
13:45We want it like this, in little coin-shaped slices.
13:50Let's go.
13:52Now we move on to the potatoes.
13:54Unlike in a bunch of other recipes I make, these are cut, not broken.
13:59They're cut into cubes.
14:00Why?
14:02Because we're going to put them in the pot for half an hour.
14:06And if we break them, they might fall apart completely.
14:09So cut them up in big chunks.
14:11And now, in they go.
14:13In they go.
14:19In they go.
14:22Half an hour of cooking, and it'll be ready.
14:31This last stage of cooking is done with the lid off the pot uncovered.
14:36Why?
14:37Because that way the sauce will thicken.
14:40If you give it a couple of shakes like this, even better.
14:43And we're going to end up with some amazing meat and potatoes.
14:47Trust me, it's a good trick.
14:51So here we go.
14:52Shakes like this.
14:54This way you'll get the sauce to thicken more and more each time.
14:59And you'll get a stew like the one you see in the picture.
15:01Look!
15:02It's saying, eat me, eat me.
15:04Wow!
15:05That looks amazing.
15:07That's all there is to it.
15:08As soon as you have it like this, it's ready for the table.
15:11We've cooked it slowly on medium heat.
15:13From the start, it's turned out this well.
15:17Our grandma's meat potatoes recipe.
15:20Who can top that?
15:21Rish.
15:22Rash.
15:23A little bit of oregano.
15:25That's my personal touch because I love that Italian hint.
15:29The smell and also the flavor.
15:31It's fantastic.
15:32You have to make it at home.
15:34You'll leave your guests speechless with this dish.
15:40We finish with the easiest recipe.
15:42Stewed chickpeas with Corizo.
15:44It's a showstopper.
15:46It looks amazing.
15:48You have to make it.
15:49You're going to love it.
15:51And it's super easy.
15:52We start by soaking 250 grams of chickpeas.
15:56Water.
15:56And let them soak for 12 hours.
15:59After that time, it'll look like this.
16:01Yes indeed.
16:04I used chickpeas that I left soaking in water overnight as we saw.
16:08If you want to prepare the dish really quickly with these canned chickpeas, you're all set.
16:14You choose more tradition or more speed.
16:17I'm Vidi.
16:18This is La Cocina de la Abuela.
16:21Let's continue.
16:22On the day we're going to cook, we'll prepare three cloves of garlic.
16:26We're going to chop them.
16:29There it is.
16:30We've got them.
16:32A generous splash of olive oil in with the garlic.
16:35Medium high heat.
16:36We'll wait for them to brown.
16:38And in the meantime, let's prepare an onion.
16:41We're going to cut it in half to make it easier to slice.
16:45Here we go.
16:47Thin slices.
16:49Riz.
16:50Riz.
16:51Be careful with your fingers.
16:53And soon you'll have the whole onion ready.
16:56That's how we want it.
17:00If you have at home what we call picky eaters back home, or kids who don't like to find onion,
17:09vegetables in stews, chop it finer, it's okay.
17:13It'll be just as tasty.
17:15Although I like the traditional touch, it's your choice.
17:18We go back to the pot and add our onion.
17:21As soon as the garlic is golden, a pinch of salt.
17:24And we saute.
17:25It'll take about five minutes.
17:28Now for the essential chorizo.
17:30We're going to cut it into slices.
17:31That's how we want it.
17:33If it's smoked even better, as soon as the onion is sauteed, in goes the chorizo.
17:38Chorizo, huh?
17:39Salt pork, bacon, any kind of smoked cured meat.
17:42They all go really well with it.
17:44I'm just going to stick with chorizo.
17:46But you can add whichever one you like best.
17:50I've even tried it with blood sausage and it's amazing.
17:54Someone even told me they've added mussels.
17:56I haven't tried it with mussels.
17:58At the very least, that's a bold move.
18:00Give it a stir for about 20 seconds, so it releases the fat, the essence and the flavor.
18:06Fantastic.
18:07After those few seconds, it'll look like this.
18:09You see?
18:10Wow.
18:12And we're going to add a teaspoon of dried parsley and also a teaspoon of paprika.
18:19In my case, it's sweet.
18:21If you want it spicy, go ahead.
18:23That's fine.
18:24We stir and mix.
18:2520 seconds, not a second more.
18:29Next ingredient, crushed tomato.
18:31200 grams of tomato.
18:33If you have time, you can grate your own tomato.
18:36It'll be a little more expensive, but also very tasty.
18:39The one I used is simply crushed, unprocessed, with no sugar and nothing added.
18:44So basically, it's the same as grating your own tomato.
18:47And if you have a garden, don't even hesitate.
18:49We add it to the mixture.
18:51This will lower the temperature.
18:54We stir a little bit.
18:57And now, with another one of the ingredients that could be considered a real trick.
19:02Free tomato sauce.
19:04Tomate frito, as we call it in Spain.
19:06Here it goes.
19:084 tablespoons.
19:09The sauce will turn out much tastier.
19:12We add it and cook everything together for 5 minutes.
19:17That's all it takes.
19:18After that time, this is how it looks.
19:23We add our chickpeas.
19:24Well, I rate it.
19:25They've been soaking for 12 hours.
19:27And we've drained them.
19:28We threw away the soaking water.
19:30We stir.
19:31There it is.
19:34They're still hard.
19:36So you can move them around without any problem.
19:39We add water until they're covered.
19:49We add salt to taste.
19:51And that's it.
19:52We're going to cook for 2 hours.
20:00Medium heat.
20:01In the meantime, we'll prepare some potatoes.
20:05Three potatoes are enough.
20:07We're going to do another little trick.
20:09We break them.
20:10Listen.
20:12There it is.
20:16If you break the potato like this while cooking, it will lose much more starch.
20:21And the sauce will turn out thicker, richer, more flavorful, more everything.
20:26That's how a stew should be.
20:30The chickpeas have cooked long enough.
20:32So now we're going to add the potatoes.
20:37We stir.
20:40We stir.
20:41There it is.
20:45Now it's time to taste it and see how much salt we need.
20:52So we add salt to taste.
20:56We finish by adding water.
21:01And we finish with 20 more minutes of cooking.
21:05After that time, it will look like this.
21:08Look at that bubbling.
21:10Wow.
21:11Amazing.
21:12Look how the sauce turned out.
21:14Look at this color.
21:16Red, golden, fantastic.
21:18To the table.
21:19There you have them.
21:20An easy recipe for stewed chickpeas with corizo.
21:24My grandmother's recipe.
21:25You can't miss it.
21:26Oh, here's a plateful.
21:28Look.
21:29Wow.
21:31You have to make it.
21:33You leave your guests with their mouths open.
21:35Chris?
21:36Russ?
21:37What more could you ask for?
21:39Easy, simple, and affordable.
21:43Well, that's it for today's show.
21:45And as promised, I'll tell you that meat stew with potatoes is my favorite.
21:50My grandmother was amazing at it.
21:52And I make it really well, too.
