Andorran Escudella image

This recipe is from week seven of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Andorra is my seventh stop. This one-pot dish is called "The National Dish of Andorra." it's very rich and fatty, so serve it with a lot of bread.

Time 3h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups dry white beans (I used a 16 oz package of the small white ones)
1 ham bone
1 marrow, bone
3 chicken thighs (the recipe called for 1/4 of a chicken, but boneless-skinless is so much easier)
14 ounces raw pork sausage, rolled into balls
1 thick ham steak, cut into chunks
1/2 head green cabbage
1 large white potato, cut into large chunks
1/4 cup uncooked rice
1 cup pasta shells
1 cup canned garbanzo beans
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Rol the raw sausage into one- or two-bite sized balls.
  • Rinse the dry beans in cold water.
  • Meanwhile, cook the sausage balls over medium heat.
  • Dice the ham.
  • Put the beans, sausage, ham, chicken and bones into the pot with 8 cups of water.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer, covered for two hours. The chicken should be very tender, almost falling apart.
  • Remove the bones and bring the remaining stock and meat back up to a boil (if there isn't a lot of liquid you can add more water).
  • Add the cabbage, potato, rice, pasta shells, garbanzo beans and salt and pepper.
  • Cook for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and rice are tender.
