Original Recipe “ARRÓS EN FESOLS I NAPS”
INGREDIENTS:
Step-by-step recipe
1.- Cooking the pork
In a deep enamelled frying pan, add the pork meat (knuckle of pork, lamb's knuckle, bone of lamb, ear, snout and trotters). Add 3 litres of water and a quantity of salt that can be adjusted to the taste of the diners and put it on the heat. Leave it to cook for an hour.
2.- Cooking vegetables and adding saffron
Once opened, with a spoon, begin to empty the inside of the flesh and seeds. It is recommended to leave a thickness of 1 - 1/2 centimetres. Remember to save the flesh and seeds, as they can be used in other recipes.
3. - Add the black pudding
Now we are going to add the black pudding. If we want to prevent them from bursting during cooking, we must prick their skin with a needle or pin.
4.- Continue cooking
Leave to cook for a further 30 minutes to complete the two-hour cooking time. The broth to make this bomba rice requires time and patience, but it is a very easy dish to prepare. The secret is that the broth cooks without haste, so that the flavour of the ingredients permeates our bomba rice.
5.- Add the rice and cook
Now we can add the bomba rice and leave it to cook for eighteen to twenty minutes.
It should not be too dry or too soupy, it should be a rice that is closer to creamy or mellow.
6.- Ready to eat
Leave to stand for a couple of minutes when the heat is turned off. Each diner is served a portion in a deep dish.
CURIOSITIES
This is a typical Valencian dish. It is a very simple dish, but it takes time to cook it slowly in a deep metal frying pan (1) or in a cast iron casserole or pot (2). The latter avoids the evaporation of the broth, requiring 30% less water and will also concentrate it to a greater extent, bringing more flavour to our bomba rice.
