Beautiful setting matched the very high quality food. We had a revuelto to share and then the grilled merluza and sea bass which were divine.
Service was very warm ,friendly and professional.
A true Andalusian experience.

If you are ever looking for a classy Andalusian restaurant in lucena, Spain that serves quality food at reasonable prices you must stop here. The menu of the day at lunchtime is exquisite. Three courses and drinks for less than 35 Euros.

El cortijo is a family run restaurant found just outside rute in the Cordoba region of Spain.
It is very traditional in style both decor and cuisine.
One of the great benefits is after you have eaten your lunch you can chill by the pool for the rest of the day.
If your in the area it is a must visit

Una vez listo para servir, sugiero porciones pequeñas, ya que siempre puede volver a pedir más.
La próxima vez quizá pruebe a añadir un poco de vino, fino o jerez en lugar de tanto caldo de res. Si le añades pollo, prueba con caldo de pollo o de verduras.

Deje cocer a fuego lento hasta que se evapore todo el líquido y, finalmente, cúbralo con papel aluminio durante al menos 30 minutos.

Si lo prefiere crujiente, pruebe a meterlo en el horno o en el grill hasta que esté crujiente.

Llévelo a ebullición y luego cocínelo a fuego lento hasta que espese. Añada la pasta dorada y cúbralo con el caldo de res.

Aquí es donde conviene vigilar la intensidad del caldo. A mí me gusta con cuerpo y carne, pero a mi esposa le quedó demasiado fuerte.

A continuación, añada el chorizo y los trocitos de jamón y cocine a fuego lento hasta que se desprendan los aromas dulces.
Añada los tomates frescos y, una vez blandos, el puré de tomate.

Añada un poco más de aceite, la cebolla y el pimiento, y cocine hasta que estén blandos. Luego, añada el ajo.
En este punto, también agrego el condimento.

Preparación
Calentar un poco de aceite en la sartén hasta que humee y luego añadir la pasta. Remover rápidamente hasta que empiece a dorarse. Una vez dorado, colóquelo en un plato aparte.

El fideau es básicamente una paella con pasta en lugar de arroz. Cocinarla en una paellera es mejor, pero una sartén grande también sirve.
No soy chef profesional, sino una cocinera casera dedicada, dispuesta a probar cualquier cosa con productos que compro localmente.
