Description
Cocido means "concoction". Dishes of this type exist in many countries, they are as old as the world. They are simple, tasty, nourishing. All that the mistress had in the pantry: beans, meats, meat, vegetables, folded in a big pot, filled with water, was put in the oven for long cooking. After returning from work, the family had prepared lunch (first and second) in one pot. Over the centuries, has changed dishes, tastes, fashion, but dishes of this type are still in demand and deserved love. From the point of view of modern medicine, cocido contains a lot of cholesterol, however, I know people who are constantly fed the old-fashioned way and successfully crossed the centenarians. On a cold winter day nothing better than lunch with a hot, oily, nourishing cosido.

Cooking
In different regions of Spain there are different ways of cooking and serving of cocido: beans or peas, all served in one dish or divide broth and meat. Especially popular cocido in the mountainous areas of Spain where winters are cold enough, however, and in the capital of Madrid will not refuse to taste the famous cocido in Madrid. For cocido use meat with bones and connective tissue for the broth, different meats, bones.
Because different products have different cooking time, put everything in sequence. In the evening we soaked the peas. In a saucepan, pour the water and salt first boil the meat, change the water. Therefore, remove the excess salt and fat. Lay all meat (with the exception of the pudding, it added 15 minutes before ready) and cook for 1 hour. In the boiling broth, add in the soaked peas and continue to cook for 1.5 hours. Lay the vegetables cook on low heat for 30 min.
Ready cosido bring to taste by adding spices. Paprika fall asleep in the hot oil and pour in cocido.
At the end of cooking add the blood sausage as a whole, not to seethe (for an Amateur), allow to boil. Select a good rich broth into a separate pot and cook in her noodle soup. It is served first.
Cooked vegetables, meats, meat, peas spread on a dish and serve hot. There is served in individual plates as a main dish.
I simplified and modernized the process of preparation and filing of cocido: peas and meat cook in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes, then the vegetables 30 minutes without closing the cooker, served with broth. Delicious, convenient, simple.
