The plate by excellence of the Alicantine kitchen is
the rice cooked in different ways with meat, fish, shellfish and vegetables,
the 'Arroz a banda', cooked with fish broth later discarded, 'el caldero',
rice of Fishermen by excellence, 'la olleta' cooked with vegetables, to
which can also be added meat and sausages.Very genuine from Alicante
are the 'cocas', cakes of flour to the oven, salted: the one made with
tuna, 'molletes' (crumbs) and of dry sardine, or sweet 'cocas': case of
the 'boba', a delicious cake that can be made almond-shaped. The whole essence of the alicantine gastronomy would be incomplete if it was not accompanied by the wines with Alicante origin denomination, famous from immemorial time and with documentation on its qualities starting from the XV century. The liquors of herbs are also very popular in Alicante, we have the 'cantueso' and the 'herbeta' specially in winter in order 'to heat' the body. For the summer as a refreshing appetizer; the 'dove', dry anisette with very cold water and the 'cantabria', made of aromatic herbs combined with water freeze. And since we speak of almonds we cannot forget the alicantine dessert by excellence, the nougat, in their authenticate and traditional varieties of Jijona (soft) and Alicante (hard), universal duke of honey and almonds, with regulated origin denomination. In summer acquire fame the iced drinks, very common in the region, as the orgeat also made in Alicante with toasted almond, the lemon and perhaps the most autochthonous of all, the 'agua de cebada', substitute of the coffee. << Back |
