CATALAN
CUISINE
The traditional Catalan cuisine is very rich and varied. Essentially it is a combination of all the natural products of the area: nuts, vegetables, olive oil, fish and meat. These are roasted or boiled according to traditional methods.
Escudella i carn d´olla. Mushrooms...mmm...delicious!
"Olla barrejada" (meat stew) is very tasty. "Botifarra and mongetes" (sausage and beans) is another typical dish. "L'allioli" (garlic mayonnaise) is a highly appreciated sauce. And you can eat "Pa amb tomàquet" (slices of bread with red tomatoes spread on them) everywhere. Add your favourite topping: cheese, ham...thee´s plenty to choose from!
