La Marina Alta joins one more year in the promotion of gastronomy and the recovery of traditional recipes in a new edition of the Gastronomic Days Què fem broth to the Marina Alta?. This meeting takes place around a traditional recipe of our territory, generally forgotten by the new generations.
The pebble
For this third edition, and coinciding with the 80 anniversary of the bombings of the Civil War, tribute will be paid to the legume that served as a support for many families of the Marina Alta in the postwar period, the guija or almorta. To this end, a recipe for arròs amb guixes cultivated in Jesus Pobre.
The guixa is a legume of survival, very present in the gastronomy of Castilla la Mancha, that some farmers of Jesús Pobre continue to cultivate. Thus, in March the plantation was carried out, which was collected in the month of June and immediately froze to be used in these days.
