Special dressing: Alan Parsons: Some other time. (turn player on) This song brings me back such great memories!!!
Easter Holidays have been wonderful because the family came to visit us at the seaside, we had endless lunches and dinners, talking, eating and drinking good wine. We had long beach walks with the dogs whom were delighted to chase the seagulls and... we were freezing cold!!! The weather has just turned mad, the sun was gone for some days and the temperatures dropped.
One of the visits I enjoyed the most was my husbands oldest daughter and granddaughter. They have been living in Chile (South America) for the last year and now they plan to stay in Spain for 2 years... Yujuuuuuuuuu!!!! You know I love babies and I just adore this kid♥. She is sooo warm and sweet and behaved as if she had never been away, she would go all day long sending kisses to everybody, just too sweet♥.
One of the things they brought from Chile was Locos, in English, Abalone. They made all the trip from Santiago to Madrid and then to Barcelona in a special package to keep them fresh and they arrived in perfect conditions!!! Abalone in Chile is called loco, maybe because to tenderize it you have to pound it unmercifully, the way mental patients once were treated. It lives in a thick shell, adhered to rocks, usually in cold waters. My husbands' daughter cooked them the way she was told and we enjoyed them a lot: She prepared a big pot with boiling water and throwed the locos one by one inside the pot and paying special attention because the water shouldn't stop boiling. Had them there for 2 hours and after that time let them cool down in the same water. Once they are cold it's time to eat them. I made a good strong allioli with 3 garlic cloves and I must say they were delicious!!!
Their meat is thick and so tasty and flavourful, so rich and strong... I never tasted anything similar :D Thank you for a seafood Chile's treasure!!!
