I recently saw an episode of Floyd in Spain in which he used a paste
called Picada in a vegetable stew recipe. He said the Spanish can't
cook without it. The ingredients are almonds, fried bread, garlic,
vinegar, olive oil, saffron and paprika which is crushed in a mortar to
create a thick paste about the consistency of marzipan.

While in Spain I bought several cookbooks and none mention picada nor
could I find a recipe on the internet. It looks/sounds as if it could
give an interesting flavor to soups or stews and I'd like to try it.
Does anyone have a recipe.

The stew he made consisted of pears, green beans, pumpkin, chickpeas,
tomatoes and onions which also sounds interesting. I refuse to buy a
book for one recipe.

Looking for a bar / square recipe my mother used to make involving a pat
in
the pan prebaked shortcrust type base,
topped with a cooked filling, some of which was crushed pineapple and its
juice, maraschino cherries and cherry juice,
cornstarch, possibly almond flavoring , and then a topping of some kind of
meringue, perhaps had coconut in it. Does this
sound familiar to anyone, it may have been from the 60's or 70's. Thanks
for
any help.
