Description:
Madrid Hotpot, Cocido Madrileno, is a traditional chickpea-based stew from Madrid, Spain.  It is most popular during winter and it is best enjoyed with red wine.

Recipe method:

  1. Chickpeas should be soaked overnight.
  2. Cut the chicken into pieces, dice the speck, crush the peppercorns, cut the carrots and celery into pieces, thickly slice the chorizo, lastly cutting the potatoes into quarters.
  3. Drain the chickpeas, place them in a stockpot, adding enough cold water to cover them by a few centimetres, bringing to the boil. Skim off any scum.
  4. Add the speck, chicken, beef, ham or bacon bone, garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns. Bring to the boil, continue skimming off any scum that appears, cover and simmer for 1 hour. (The liquid should always cover the ingredients so add water during cooking if needed).
  5. Add the chorizo, potatoes, carrots, celery into the pan and then season it with salt. Cover and cook for another 30 minutes.
  6. When the meat and vegetables are tender, stir in shredded cabbage and cook for a few more minutes until it wilts.
  7. Serve from the pot or, as traditional in Spain, serve the broth as the first course, the vegetables as the second course, and the meat as the third course.
