Woo-hoo, it’s cocido Madrileño for real
November 14th, 2008 by Cliff Bostock in RestaurantsI mentioned earlier this week that Ecco is offering cocido on Tuesday nights and I wondered if it was the famously delicious Madrid variety. I received this email from Sous Chef Scott Keefer:
Ours is indeed a Cocido Madrileño and features house-cured brisket, house-made chorizo, cured pork belly and Spanish morcilla, along with chickpeas, savoy cabbage, potato, carrot and the traditional pickles and pickled giundilla chilies. To make it easier, we serve the caldo at the same time as the meats and veggies, which are on the same plate. So far the response has been great.
This sounds about as authentic as it can be, so I’m going to find a way to get there on a Tuesday, a day I usually can’t dine out.
