Secret comic with the shells

For Christmas eve we chose a dish Muslim. Are we or are not in the era of globalization?

For the shrimp: fresh, shelled, private thread. Separate pulp and head. First rule: in crustaceans, the taste lives in the carapace, the shell and then as the bones of the meat is prepared demi-glace with pieces of shrimp are preparing a kind of comic. For 3 / 4 persons: chopped white onion in a mixer, a stick of celery and a couple of carrots. Calculate 5 / 6 shrimp each. Put in two tablespoons of warm olive oil in a casserole, preferably earthenware, or if you have it in couscoussiera, add the chopped together with two cloves of garlic peeled and dressed, and then dried for a few minutes. Then put the heads of the prawns and stir in a high flame for 3 / 4 minutes or until they change color. Remove the garlic and then pour two glasses of water and a tablespoon of double concentrated tomato paste. Simmer for 20 min. Season with salt and spices begin to put the cous cous. N. B .: For spices, you can buy them already assembled and chopped in stores Castroni type in the name of "spices couscous" or you can instantly crush turmeric, coriander seeds, cumin, paprika and cloves. Attention to the proportions, if you are not expert chemists, I recommend you obtain the pre-established formula. When your comic will be promptly removed the shells and drain the vegetables with a slotted spoon and transfer them in a wok or large frying pan nice. Heat all together a little olive oil and add the shrimp. Jump all the heat for a couple of minutes, then stretched out with the comic until the mixture is sufficiently juicy. This phase is crucial because the density of amalgam depends on the level of involvement of your cous cous. Season with salt and spices. The comic advanced on the one hand be used for the hot sauce and the other with its vapors, the flour aromatizzerĂ .
For the cous cous : we are talking of course of pre-cooked meal, prepare according to directions on package, or do as I say: always keep the proportions of 1 to 1, so much water semolina. For 3 \\ 4 people you put two cups of flour in a large bowl and add a nice spoonful of oil. Mix. Heat then two cups of lightly salted water without coming to a boil. Pour rain on semolina, stir and cover with a cloth. Little secret: with the water, you can put a bag in the bowl of saffron will color your meal, making it more attractive. After 5 minutes uncover and sgranellate with a fork or, after esservele washed by hand.

Chapter couscoussiera : once they are put at the top of semolina couscoussiera, and let it season with the vapors of the comic strip below.
For the spicy sauce : In a pot put two tablespoons of Arissa and dilute it with a cup of comics. The hot sauce is served separately at the table and each diner will be able to dose it at will in the pot.





Council Sommelier here is a case where a marine product, you can pair with red wine. Since Christmas Eve, I largheggiato and I drained the bottle of Amarone in 1999 we held in Serbia for the pope. Paying attention to the rule that spice called spice, fun to look for more daring pairing with fine wines.
