Yield Makes 12 (as part of tapas buffet)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons hot Spanish smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 cups finely chopped cooked short rib meat (reserved from rich beef broth )
Accompaniments: thin slices of crusty bread; caper berries; sea salt

Steps:

Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat, turning occasionally, until tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer garlic with a slotted spoon to a cutting board and mash to a paste with a fork. Cook paprika, salt, and pepper in oil remaining in skillet over low heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir together paprika oil, garlic paste, and short rib meat in a large bowl until combined well. Pack mixture into a 5- to 6-cup crock, terrine, or bowl and let stand at room temperature 1 hour to allow flavors to develop. Serve at room temperature.
