The tangy-sweet flavor combination of this sauce will work equally well with chicken thighs or pork. Serve with hot cooked rice and steamed haricots verts or a tossed green salad.
Coca is a crust or pastry that may have a sweet or savory topping. This savory coca is an everyday Catalonian dish and would make a tasty main course dish. We used leftover Samfaina topped with ricotta cheese (which is very similar to the fresh cheeses you would find in Catalonia) and sprinkled with kosher salt. You could also top it with greens, pine nuts, and paprika.
For a weeknight, instant brown rice makes a fast side for this saucy dish. If you have time, though, basmati rice pairs particularly well with the flavors in the garam masala.
Another pretty dish. Tomatoes, green pepper and zucchini are sauteed until tender and their flavors have mingled. Rice and water are stirred in and everything is cooked until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
Tiny, rice-shaped orzo absorbs liquid and flavor much like rice, but unlike traditional risotto, this recipe doesn't need to be stirred obsessively for a perfectly al dente, creamy result.
