BACHOY
6 Servings
Bachoy is the quintessential Iloilo dish,
said to have originated in the market of La
Paz, Iloilo by a butcher named Deco, who
wanted to make use of the less popular,
inexpensive cuts of meat. Thus the original
recipe contained pork liver, pancreas, heart,
stomach, tripe, spleen and kidney. Today's
more modern version eliminates some of these
butcher trimmings but a good, rich broth is
still a must.

When FOOD editor ill chief Norma
Chikiamro visited thecityofVlllt1!cin in Spain,
she learned how to cookpnel/a flteoriginftl way,
theulGY thepeopieojVaiencia have cooked it for
decades. The follawillg recipe is from Iliall Carlos
Sallcanllto Soler, chefofCa Teresa, a restaurallt
in Valencia frequented by patrcms who WIlnt to
taste the authentic Paella Valencitma. Some of
the ingredients such as the garrofo, huwever
may not be easily auaiInble. See notes below for
possible substitutes.
114 cup Spanish olive oil
1 chicken, sliced
1 rabbit, sli ced"
300 grams fresh artichokes, peeled,
soaked in water and sli ced

Salt to taste
snails, well-cleaned"
cups white, short-grain
Rosemary sprigs
Lemon, cut into wedges
)- Heatoliveoil in a paeUera or in a wide,
shallow pan. Saute chicken and rabbit
about 2-3 minutes. Add artichokes and
grated tomato . Let s immer a few
minutes.
)- Stir in paprika and let paprika fry in
oil for about 1 minute at very low heat
so it doesn' t bum.
)- Dissolve s affro n in wa te r.
Immediately JXlur water into pan. Add
garroJo and season with salt.
)- Let simmer for about20 minutes. Add
s nails and simmer for another 5
minutes.
)- Pour in rice grains. Make sure ri ce
grains are spread throughout the pan,
not just in one part of the pan.
)- Let simmer for 15 to 18 minutes. Taste
for salt and sprinkle more salt if needed.
During last 7 minutes, add rosemary
sprigs. Let it stay in pan for only 5
minutes, then remove from pan (this is
just to add fragrance).
)- Paella is cooked when rice is no longer
soupy but still has some moisture. If you
to create SOCllref (trdong) on the
bottom of the pa n, cook paella for a
longer time over very low heat.
)- Serve wi th lemon wedges.
"Notes
1. Since rabbit is not easily available in
Manila, this may be omitted. Double the
amount of chicken.
2. Garrofo is Spanish broad beans.
Substitute with wax beans.
3. The Valencians use only water in the
traditional paella. But their water has
special qualities not present in other
parts of the world. You may use chicken
broth if you wish.
4. For snails, substitute the loca l kuhol,
clams or mussels . These must be
cleaned very well before being added
to the pan. In Valencia, somecooks clean
the snails for t,,>,o days in salted water
before using them in a paella.
5. Va1encians use theiro\"'IJl homegrown
rice. You may substitute California or
. Jasmin rice.-

How To Make Stocks
H
omemakers and cooks of old
knew the wisdom of the
long, slow process of
simmering stocks and broth, the best
way, they say, to bring out the full fla-
vors of ingredients in their cooki ng.
No self-respecting cook was without
a stockpot kept on the back burner. Into
this she threw in a variety of fresh meat
scraps and choice vege.tables, cleaned
carefull y in cold water, then set to
simmer for hours. She always had this
magic brew handy for a variety of dishes.
Much of the cooking in today's
households now depend on quicker
methods, usi ng bouillon cubes, con-
densed broth, flavor granules and other
stock substitutes. The impression is that
stock-making is something best left in the
hands of professional chefs and cooks.
Whi le stock substitutes have their
place in today' s fast-paced lives, nothi ng
rea lly comes quite close to dishes cooked
with the traditional stock, a flavored liq-
uid that is key to making good soups,
sauces and other dishes.
This is the reason the French refer to
stocks asfond, the foundation or basis for
many d assic and modem dishes.
The thought of preparing a stock may
seem inti midating but the procedures are
qui te simple although they take a lot of
time. By using fresh high-quali ty ingre-
dients and following these steps, even
the ordi nary homemaker or cook can
elevate the level of her cooking with the
use of stocks always at hand.
In this cookbook, some recipesca11 for
the use of various kinds of stocks. Here
we present basic stock reci pes whi ch one
can use with confidence in a variety of
dishes.
TlPS FOR MAKING STOCKS
tI Use cold water to start the s tock.
Starti ng wi th cold water ensures that as
mersed in water because fl avors Carulot
be extracted from bones not covered in
water.
y" Skim the stock frequentl y. The fats
and impurities that rise to the surface of
the s tock duri ng cooking must be
skimmed. Othenvise the stock will be
d oudy.
V Do not add salt to the l iquid.
Reducing the li quid concentrates the
fl avor, and if there is salt, the stock will
be too salty.
V Strain the stock. Volhen cooking is
finished, let the stock settle a bit then
skim all fats and impurities on the
surface. Separate the liquids from the
solids, being careful not to disturb the
solids while ladling out the stock to a
metal container. Strain the remaining
stock through severallayers of cheese-
cloth.
y" Cool the stock. Keep the stock in a
metal, not plasti c, container to prevent
spoiling. Pl astic containers insulate and
delay the cooling process. Stir the stock
frequently to speed up the cooling
pro=s.
y" Degrease the stock. Stocks can keep
in the refrigerator up to a week and in
the freezer for months. Before re-heat-
ing the stock for use in a dish, lift off any
fat that has congealed on the surface.

Tips For Cooking Success
1. Before doing the recipe, read it
through from beginning to end, taking
note of the preparations of ingredients
and the kitchen utensils mentioned in
the procedures.
2. Have all the ingredients prepared
as directed and ready to use before
starting to cook. An exception would
be cheese to be used for topping or
serving. Grate the cheese just before
using.
3. Take note of the time elements.
Some recipes require marinating or
soaking of the ingredients overnight.
Make sure you allot enough time for
these.
4. Wash all fresh produce well before
using. nus is especially true for greens
such as lettuce and knffgkollg which
may have picked up some dirt from
handling in the market. To be on the
safe side, you may want to disinfect
leafy vegetables that are to be eaten
raw by soaking them in a solution of
water and one or two drops of
potassium permanganate solution.
5. Use the proper measuring utensils.
Measuring cups for liquids such as
milk and water are different from
measuring cups for solids such as flour
and cocoa powder. Those for liquids
have pouring lips \vhile those for sol-
ids have straight edges.
6. When measuring 591ids such as
flour, spoon the ingredient into a dry
measuring cup until it heaps over the
top. Level off the ingredient with a
straight edged spatula without tap-
ping or shaking the measuring cup.
7. Watch that mixtures that are
supposed to be simmered do not reaCh
the boiling point. Boiling may toughen
meat instead of tenderizing it.
8. Chilies such assilillg labllyo have oily
elements that may sting the eye. Make
sure you wash and dry your hands well
after handling these ingredients or wear
protective gloves when cooking.
9. Some redpes call for draining and
reserving the liquid. Make sure you
drain the liquid into II bowl and not into a
si nk where it will literally go dO\vn the
drain and be lost from you forever.
1 D. When using dried herbs, it is better
to add them towards the end or in the
middle of the cooking time. The flavors
do not hold well in too long cooking.
11. When marinating or tenderizing
meat, do not add salt in the beginning as
this tends to dry and toughen the meat.
Season with salt towards the end of the
cooking process.
12. When cooking with vinegar, do not
stir the mixture or cover the pot unti l the
vinegar has boiled, to prevent having the
'raw-' taste of vinegar in the dish.
