The heart of Spanish cuisine
Passionate about cooking here we are again for a new tour of Spanish gastronomy! This time, we’re leaving for a gastronomic internship in Valencia. It is certain that, even without having it, you already knew many Valencian specialties. However today we will explain a little more about what his dishes are, why not, you discover some of them. A fishing town, Valencia derives a lot of its ingredients from the sea. So fish and seafood lover get ready at the end of your reading you may have water in your mouth, because we will make you want to come to this beautiful city that is Valencia in order to make your internship..
Let’s start with the entries! Many of the tapas you find in Spain are of Valencian origin, including the patatas bravas as cited in our previous article. It also includes many tapas made from seafood and other fish, but today we will introduce you to the Esgarraet. Very popular, this speciality of the commune is eaten as a starter or tapas. This is a cod salad with red pepper and garlic cooked in olive oil. Very refreshing during the warm Spanish summer nights you will spend during your internship in Spain.
Now let’s get down to business. If there’s one Spanish dish that everyone knows, it’s this one. We are talking, of course, about La Paella! Great pride of Spanish cuisine and known from all over the world! If you did not know the Paella is from Valencia. It consists of round rice, beans and vegetables. Then comes the choice between paella with meat, such as rabbit or chicken, and paella marisco which consists of seafood such as mussels, squid or shrimp. There are several variations of paella, with black rice, stewed or with pasta, enough to satisfy all your desires!
And as usual we put you a recipe right here, for those who want to try from home and who would not have the opportunity to come to Spain.
