Paco Fuentes, gourmet and hotel manager, hotel manager and gourmet, has been able to materialize a unique project in the Spanish catering sector. A palace aimed at luxury and art located amid countryside whose cuisine is characterized by artistic connotations. Metaphorically speaking, we could suggest Murcia’s government to subsidize such a project, because what is proposed here is the local cuisine in all its essence and even more, yet the house has no territorial limits.
The kitchen is run by José Carlos Fuentes, who proposes calculated, reflexive and erudite dishes based on excellent products, impeccably done, reinforced with silky and harmonic sauces and contrasts. The proposals are always seasoned with a rigorous originality, which is more scientific than artistic. Although rigor and efficiency prevail, the chef’s constructions turned to be witty, full of talent; a talent that frankly takes the guests’ opinion into account. Authenticity, depth, intelligence, common sense...
The menu is improving year after year. A trend that the following sensible, elaborate and brilliant dishes can’t but confirm: Gillardeau oyster lain on a delicate infusion of roasted garlic, covered with a very thin ham jelly and subtly garnished with nori seaweed and citrus. As noble, precise and enjoyable is the cuttlefish, served amid warm tagliatelle, almost raw, just slightly cooked –immaculate, utterly tasteful– with two brushstrokes (cuttlefish liver mayonnaise and ink of the animal) and two contrasts: the greasy touch of chiquillos (fresh pork skin coated with spices and fried), and a sweet-and-sour hint of mango. The turbot, brimming with gelatin, overflowing with flavour, amid salicornia and spinach, toasted corn powder and spinach reduction, is a real masterpiece; perfect combination and execution. The red prawn in two versions is glorious: sautéed with soy, garlic and parsley sauce plus Raf tomato roasted at 100ºC and served with Calasparra rice soaked with the juice of the animals’ heads. And the unforgettable moments go on and on: foie gras with burnt aubergine, rye earth and wild chards; roe deer filet with beet chutney and violet potatoes; Segureño lamb cooked into fig leaves, accompanied by gingerbread with honey and young figs…
The more we come, the more we enjoy. A good reason to increase the mark, isn’t it?

Borage Pancakes Onto Clam Sauce

Borage Pancakes Onto Clam Sauce
Túbal
Cuisinier: Nicolás Ramírez
Pays: España
Localité: 31300 Tafalla (Navarra)
Adresse: Plaza de Navarra, 4.
(*34) 948700852.

This legendary recipe was invented by Atxen Jiménez, who embodies the evolution of Navarra’s cuisine like no other. This is a clear example of what happened in the eighties, has been evolving and giving the house a constant series of successful results. The rule is to maintain the haute cuisine forms of that time as well as historic memory. In this case, three classical elements come to the meeting: a pancake, which was in fashion at the moment of its creation; a typical vegetable from Navarra that is integrated into the pancake dough and the filling; and an oceanic clam sauce, which is in fact an adapted version of the famous artichokes with clams from Navarra (borage instead of artichokes). All these ingredients are delicately refined, lightened and dressed up.



La Recette



  

PANCAKE DOUGH 

Ingredients (4 servings)
3 eggs
50 g butter
70 g flour
1/4 l milk
Borage leaves, cooked and strained
Salt

Method
Whisk the eggs, add flour, melted butter, milk, borage –previously blanched in water–, bicarbonate and salt. Grind and sieve through a fine strainer.
Make the pancakes as thin as possible.

BORAGE

Ingredients
300 g borage leaves

Method
Clean and cut into 3-centimeter pieces. Cook for 10 minutes into salted boiling water. Strain.

SAUCE

Ingredients
15 ml extra virgin olive oil
5 g chopped garlic
Chopped parsley
30 g flour
2 dozens of clams
50 cl fish broth
15 cl white wine

Method
Make a classical sea sauce with all the ingredients. Remove the clams just when they get open, take off the shell and set aside until service.

FINISHING
Lay the cooked borage on a wafer, roll and coat with clam sauce. Close the wafer. If necessary, steam at 100º C for five minutes.

SERVING
On the bottom of a dish, lay the clam sauce as well as 6 clams without their shells. Arrange the pancakes onto the sauce and give some brushstrokes of virgin olive oil.

Risotto Black

Risotto Negro de Sepia con Esfera de All i Oli
L´ Escaleta
Cuisinier: Kiko Moya
Pays: España
Localité: 03824 Cocentaina.
Adresse: Subida estación del norte, 205
(+34) 965592100.

This is the local version (Alicante) of black rice, a clear Italian vision, defined as risotto, which differs from the Spanish rice dishes made with cuttlefish and ink. A creamy proposal in which the cuttlefish’s taste and gelatinousness and the cod’s skins make the sauce even important as the cereal. Both express themselves jointly and separately through a delicious harmony that allows them to preserve all their respective identity. The garlic mayonnaise, blended with the structure, brings originality and chromatism. A different approach of rice inspired by the combination of two cultures that keep their own identity.



La Recette



INGREDIENTS:

For the broth:
5 l water
1 kg cod skins
0.5 kg cuttlefish tentacles
1 leek
2 shallots
½ green pepper
1 fennel

For the fried sauce:
100 g green pepper
200 g red onion
200 g mashed tomatoes
20 g grinded garlic

For the garlic mayonnaise:
3 eggs
500 g seed oil
1 raw garlic clove
2 blanched garlic cloves
Lemon juice
Lemon and ginger peel
Salt
50 g Carnaroli rice (per serving)
6 saffron threads
50 g cuttlefish brunoise
20 g rice sauce
20 g squid ink and coral
4 caramelized lemon cubes

METHOD:
For the broth:
Put all the cold ingredients in a pot and let them come to a boil on a low flame for half an hour.

For the rice sauce:
In a bit of olive oil, lightly fry the grinded garlic and add the onion until it starts caramelizing. Finish with the peeled green pepper. It is important to work on a low flame for all the vegetables to be caramelized. Set aside.

For the garlic mayonnaise:
Blanch the two chopped garlic cloves. Place the eggs into the Thermomix, followed by the garlic cloves. Pour the oil progressively until whisking and obtaining a quite liquid mixture that will be strained and introduced into a siphon.

In an iron pan, lightly fry the sauce with the rice. Add the toasted saffron and the corresponding broth, and let cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and fold the ink and the cuttlefish. Grease and salt. During the mixing process, it is important the ink not to coagulate too fast because of the heat. To do so, let the rice cool slowly and grease. If necessary, let come to a slight boil before serving.

 

PRESENTATION:
Place a ring of garlic mayonnaise in the centre of the dish and arrange the rice and the caramelized lemon cubes around.
