Garrucha is the "Mecca" of fish.
To shows us the gastronomic face of its marine tradition
you have to taste the "Guiso Marinero", a stew
made with monk fish or mackerel, in almonds, fried bread
and wine sauce.
On rainy days "Migas" are prepared, both of fried
breadcrumbs or flour, accompanied with sardines, fried bacon,
roast peppers, or even with fruit.
Another typical dish is the "Gurullos con caracoles",
a stew made with fried red peppers and garlic, rabbit or
pork cutlets, "gurullos" (a type of pasta), chick
peas and snails.
Other dishes are: "Arroz a la garruchera", rice
cooked in the style of Garrucha;"Caldo en blanco",
fish soup; "Cazuela de fideos" noodle stew; "Arroz
a banda", "Cuajadera", meat or fish with
vegetables baked in the oven; "Pimentón con
chuperos", small snail stew; and fish, peppers and
tomatoes.
