This delightful cazuela dish is a beautiful and versatile addition to any kitchen. Cazuelas are the go-to cookware for us, whether for simmering chorizo on the stove, roasting garlic chicken in the oven, or serving a big bowl of Marcona almonds to guests. This rustic terra cotta dish has a cheerful white exterior glaze and is a great example of oven to table cookware. These dishes retain heat and keep food warm after it is served. Artisans craft these attractive cazuelas in the town of Breda, near the Pyrenees Mountains, as they have since Roman times. The clay from this region contains a fine gravel which creates a sturdy ceramic that has excellent heat retention properties. The glaze on the cazuela is safe for serving food and contains no lead. How to Cure Your New Cazuela for Cooking: If you are planning on cooking with your cazuela, you will need to soak and cure it using the following directions. Soak the entire dish in water to cover for 12 hours. Drain and wipe dry. Rub the unglazed bottom with a cut clove of garlic (we are not sure how the garlic works, but why argue with tradition?) Fill the dish with water to 1/2 inch below the rim, then add 1/2 cup of vinegar. Place the dish on a flame-tamer over low heat and slowly bring the water to a boil (no flame tamer? Crumple a sheet of aluminum foil and create a ring that you place over your burner to create about an inch of space between the heat and the cazuela). Let the liquid boil down until only about 1/2 cup remains. Cool slowly and wash. Your cazuela is ready for use - the garlic has created a seal. This technique has been used since the Middle Ages. It seasons the pot, kills bacteria and hardens the unglazed parts. To clean, soak in sudsy water and scrub with a soft brush to remove any hardened food. If you have not used the cazuela for an extended period of time, you may need to re-cure it before use.
