These shell shaped pasta are called Galets here in Catalonia. They are the pasta we throw into our Christmas rich Stock.
This year, the city of Barcelona has used them as an icon for the Holidays. They were giant and strategically set in different hot city spots! Beautiful at night with their lights on. Food and Gastronomy is right up there!!!
So, here you have to start with, a light and delicious salad to help clean your system after the heavy food sessions we just went through.
Have it during the holidays or just right after if there's some Galets leftover.
Stuffed Galets in a Salad.
Ingredients for 4 servings: 12 galets (or some more just in case they break during the boiling), 4 piquillo peppers, 100 grs of Serrats Special Tuna: Bonito del Norte, 2 boiled eggs, 2 garlic cloves, different kinds of lettuce, salt and extra virgin olive oil.
- Carefully boil the Galets in salty water. Follow package instructions and strain. Pour some olive oil over them to avoid them to stick together. Reserve.
- Drop some olive oil in a sauce pan. Peel and cut the garlic cloves and when fragant add the piquillo peppers. Stir for 2 or 3 minutes at medium heat and reserve. Discard garlic and cut the piquillos in small pieces.
- Boil the eggs and when cold, peel and grate inside a big bowl. Add the piquillos, the tuna in small pieces and mix.
- Stuff the Galets with the mixture and present over a lettuce salad. Dress with salt and extra virgin olive oil.
Happy New Year to you all!!!!
Hopefully, I'll be back to normal blogging next week.
