Steps to make the stew wood oven

When we are going to make a stew, we must bear in mind that, previously, we must prepare some of the ingredients. And, in the case of cooking the cooked to wood oven, you will also have to prepare this.

Before preparation:

Before starting, soak the chickpeas for about 12 hours.

Wash the bones and prepare the meat, chicken, chorizo, black pudding and bacon. 

Before putting all the ingredients in the fire, you have to prepare the wood oven heating the oven well to ensure that the temperature will last long enough for cooking.

Preparation:

In a crock pot u cast iron pot, we place the ingredients the chickpeas, the meats and the vegetables, in this order, and we introduce it in the oven, with water already boiling. The fact of putting the boiling water is very important, since the heat of the oven does not generate boiling, but it does maintain the heat, so the water will already reach its correct boiling point, to maintain itself with the heat of the oven, during your cooking hours.

If you want your stew to come out perfect, with an authentic and exquisite flavor, in Wood fired ovens We advise you to leave your casserole, with all the ingredients, inside the oven, overnight. In this way, everything will cook and take on its flavor, little by little, with the remaining heat from the oven and, the next morning, the result will be 5 stars 😉

Recommendations:

• If our stew runs out of water, always add hot water, this is very important, so as not to snatch the chickpea or lose the heat of the broth.
• Less temperature and more time, the meat is more tender and flavorful.
