Chocorrezno. Or what is the same, torrezno de Soria with chocolate: an infallible claim for tourists who have visited this summer El Burgo de Osma, where the invention is made, and other tourist towns in the province of Soria.

We heat plenty of water in a saucepan and, when it starts to boil, we introduce the pumpkin, peeled and diced. Cook for about five minutes or until we notice it tender.

Thanks to the electric pressure cookers we can do it without effort, automatically.

Fill a small saucepan with half a liter of water and bring it to a boil. As soon as the boil starts, we submerge the mushrooms. We cover, remove from heat and we let them hydrate During 4 hours. This is also how the water is infused with the flavor of the mushrooms, which we will use later. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a saucepan with plenty of salty water and following the manufacturer’s instructions. We cool them under the cold water tap to cut the cooking and we drain them well. We return them to the saucepan and, so…

First, we put 200 g of oatmeal cookies in a transparent plastic bag, or covered in plastic wrap, and with the help of a roller we crush them until a homogeneous putty is left. We mix it well with 60 g of melted butter and a tablespoon of fresh thyme – if you don’t have it, you can add a little less dried thyme. We place baking paper in the base of a cake mold and, on it, the biscuit. We reserve it in the fridge. Now, in a large bowl, with the help of a hand mixer, or in…
