A reinvented classic for the festive season, without losing its Christmas essence
Christmas festivities are approaching, bringing with them long meals, family reunions, tables full of tradition and, why not admit it, the occasional post-celebration hangover. To face these days with flavour, tradition and a touch of sophistication, our ambassador Juan Pinel, chef at L’Àtic Restaurant, has reinterpreted one of the great Christmas classics. The result is a revitalising version, perfect both as a starter for Christmas Day and to restore energy between celebrations.
At Ramaders Agrupats, we believe in simple recipes with character. That’s why our galets come already prepared and filled, and you only need one extra ingredient to elevate the dish: a delicious quail. A recipe that preserves the traditional essence while adding new nuances to surprise without breaking with tradition.
Recipe: Galets soup with quail and basil
Ingredients
- Quail
- Galets from Ramaders Agrupats
- Fresh basil
- Olive oil, salt and pepper
- Broth from Ramaders Agrupats
Preparation
First, prepare the galets. Heat a good chicken broth, or vegetable broth if you prefer a milder flavour, and cook the galets in it. At Ramaders Agrupats, the galets are already filled with a pork meat mixture, which adds a delicious intensity to the broth.
Meanwhile, debone the quail, separating the legs and the breasts. Season with salt and pepper and place in a very hot pan. The goal is to seal it quickly to retain its juices. A good sign is when small bubbles appear on the skin, indicating it is crispy and ready.
Once sealed, transfer the quail to the oven for one and a half to two minutes at 180 °C, allowing it to finish cooking without losing juiciness.
To serve, place a few fresh basil leaves in the plate. Then pour the hot broth with the galets over them. The heat will release the fresh aroma of the basil, creating a spectacular contrast.
A dish to revitalise the body or impress at Christmas. It is the perfect recipe for those looking for something different without giving up tradition. Comforting, elegant and very easy to prepare.
