Chef Tips

- Hydrate the chickpeas in warm water with a pinch of salt for at least 8 to 12 hours to ensure even cooking. - Strain the abundant broth formed in the cooking of the meats to serve first as an opening soup (noodle soups). - Wait for the pressure to release completely naturally before opening the pot so that the meats become extremely tender.

Variations

- Servicio tradicional em três vueltas: sirva primeiro o caldo com macarrão cabelo de anjo, depois o grão-de-bico com os legumes, e por fim as carnes fatiadas. - Adição de embutidos típicos: adicione chouriço curado e morcela espanhola cozidos à parte para aromatizar o prato sem turvar o caldo. - Refogado de repolho com alho: cozinhe o repolho à parte e refogue-o ligeiramente em azeite com bastante alho dourado e páprica antes de dispor na travessa.

Substitutions

- Beef (shank or brisket): replace with beef ossobuco, chuck in large cubes, or boneless beef ribs. - Pork meat (rib or bacon): use smoked bacon, desalted salted pork loin, or fresh pork knuckle. - Raw chickpeas: use previously cooked chickpeas (adding them only in the final 10 minutes along with the cabbage).

How to Store

Store the shredded meats, the vegetables with the chickpeas and the broth in separate jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the broth until boiling and use it to drizzle the meats and vegetables in a double boiler or microwave.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the strained broth and the meats with the chickpeas for up to 90 days in suitable containers. Avoid freezing potatoes cooked in broth, as they acquire a crumbly and watery texture after thawing.

What to Serve With

Serve with homemade tomato sauce with cumin, pickled green chilies, slices of rustic bread, and glasses of red wine from La Rioja. The broth served with thin noodles opens the banquet with comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 'three vuelcos' of cocido madrileño?

It is the traditional way of serving in three stages: first the broth with small pasta, second the chickpeas with the vegetables, and third the shredded meats.

How to prevent the chickpeas from staying hard during cooking?

Always place the chickpeas in already hot or boiling water and use good quality beans previously soaked for at least 8 hours.

Why remove the foam from the surface at the beginning?

The foam contains residues of coagulated proteins from raw meats; removing it at the beginning ensures a clear, bright, and clean-tasting broth.

Can I make the entire recipe in a regular cast-iron pot?

Yes, traditional preparation in a regular pot takes about 3 to 4 hours over constant low heat, monitoring the water to keep the ingredients covered.
