IES LOS MORISCOS HORNACHOS Comenius project: Students and Parents in Partnership

Foreword This book of recipes is the result of the workshop on “Healthy food”, included in the Comenius project “Students and Parents in Partnership”.

We have achieved many goals through this activity. The most important is that parents and children have worked together preparing one of their favourite meals. They all have enjoyed it and have shown us that an activity proposed from the school, by their teachers, can be an excuse to have fun together.

Another goal was to show examples of Mediterranean diet. This Mediterranean nutrition, together with high activity and anti stress attitudes, have shaped our culture. And it was last November 2010 when the Mediterranean diet was declared Immaterial Human Heritage by UNESCO. The secrets? Fresh raw materials of high quality and our gold: the olive oil.

We’d like to thank all the students from 3rd and 4th year of Secondary Education and 1st Bachillerato who have taken part for their generosity to show us some of their favourite recipes and for their work. We couldn’t be more pleased and satisfied with their participation!

Mª Ángeles, Elena, Elva, Begoña, Jofe and Pilar have been the teachers who have organised all this delicious stuff. It’s been really hard working with our mouths watering all the time!

3. When the pan heat up again and we hope we take our mix about 2 or 3 minutes over medium heat to be done on one side. If we dare we can turn the omelette directly in the air, if we take a plate larger than the pan, put it up and turn to the pan without removing the plate. Put the frying pan and turn back the omelet now on the other side 4. With a wooden spatula or not we shred the pan tucking the edges of the omelet inward to form and finally present it in a dish, diced into pieces or whole.

Croquets of Jam Ingredients: * 1/2 cup (100ml) chicken broth

Preparation: This croquets of jam recipe makes about 6 servings as an appetizer.

Time: 3 hours, 15 minutes

* 8 tbsp olive oil * 3/4 cup (107 gr) flour * 1 1/2 cups (350 ml) milk * 1/2 tsp nutmeg * dash of ground pepper * 1/2 cup very finely handminced ham * 2 eggs, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water * bread crumbs for coating * olive oil for frying

Make sure that the ham if very finely minced, so it can be mixed thoroughly with the dough.

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Heat the 8 Tbsp olive oil in a small saucepan on medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk and the chicken broth, stirring without stopping. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and smooth.

Total Time: 3 hours, 40 minutes

Add the minced ham and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes on low heat, continuing to stir. Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and refrigerate at least 3 hours until mixture is cold. If you are preparing a day or so ahead, you can cover the mixture tightly and keep refrigerated until you are ready to fry the croquettes.

TIP: If the mixture is spread out in a thin layer on a flat dish, you will need to refrigerate it for less time. A large glass baking dish works well.

Pour the bread crumbs into a small, wide bowl. Beat the eggs with water in a small, wide bowl. Cover your hands in flour, then divide the mixture into 1-inch balls and set on a plate so that they are not touching.

Pour enough olive oil in a medium to large frying pan to cover 1/2 inch deep. Heat the olive oil for frying to about 355F degrees. Dip the croquettes in the beaten eggs and coat with crumbs by rolling in bowl. Place the croquettes in the hot oil and fry quickly, turning several times, until golden. Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Serve immediately.

If croquettes will not be served immediately, place in a warm oven (200 degrees) for up to 30 minutes.

If you prefer, you can use a deep-fryer to fry the croquettes. Be sure not to over-cook them!
