INGREDIENTS


L' arròs amb fesols i naps, is also known as “caldera” is a typical dish of the cuisine of the vegetable garden of Valencia. It is a very simple dish to prepare but it needs time for slow cooking. It can be cook in a deep steel pan (1) or cast iron pot (2). This last will prevent broth's evaporation and will need 30% less water, as well as it concentrates more the broth and our exquisite rice will have more flavour.

The basic elements for preparation include pork ( ear, nose, ham hock and even trotters), onion black puddings, white beans, turnip cabbage, thistle and rice. Although there are some local variations in the composition of the recipe as "Perolet " where it is a custom substitute pork for beef or lamb so that the end result is less fatty.
READY, SET, GO!!
In a enamelled steel deep pan add the pork meat (ham hock, pork bones, pork ear, pork nose and trotters). Add 3 liters of water and some salt that later we will adjust to taste. Light the fire and cook over low heat for 1 hour.
On this point add the vegetables: turnip cabbage, thistle and white beans that will have been soaked for the whole night . Add the saffron. Let it cook over low or medium heat for 30 minutes more
KEEP COOKING!!
On this point add the onion black puddings and let cook 30 minutes more for completing the minimum two hours of cooking. If we want to prevent bursting prick your skin with a needle or pin. The broth for the rice calls time and patience, however it is very easy to prepare. The secret is cook the broth slowly, so that our rice absorb thoroughly the flavor of the ingredients.
ADD RICE!!

Add rice and salt to taste. Rice should be cooked between eighteen and twenty minutes. Rice should not be neither too dry nor soupy, ie, close to creamy or juicy.
READY TO EAT!!

Let rest a couple of minutes. Serve in a bowl for each diner.
