FRESH AND HEALTHY SPOONFULS
Some say countryside cooking is full of stews and soups – besides stewed legumes- but there are also plenty of cold soups with garden vegetables, oil and bread as the main ingredients. Beyond its similarity to salmorejo cordobés or affinity to drinkable gazpacho, our porra from Antequera is what it is: an extraordinary ambassador for the best Mediterranean gastronomy as it’s exquisite as well as healthy.
A dish to be eaten with a spoon to cool down in summer and quench any appetite at the mercy of what’s served with it – Iberian ham diced or otherwise. However, there are some who prefer eating porra with crumbled codfish, tuna or boiled eggs (particularly those who are rather vegan). In any case, it’s a recipe that goes back to none other than the Roman Empire. And if it’s come all this way, there’s no question why: it’s delicious.
