Zaragoza Gastronomy
Zaragoza's cuisine is simple and nutritious,
strong and with lots of character, just like the local folk. It
is based in local products like vegetables, meats and excellent
wines. The farms of Zaragoza provide delicious vegetables like
peppers, tomatoes, thistles, courgettes, onions, green beans,
borage and so on, which are essential in the making of emblematic
dishes such as chicken stew and cod ajoarriero (with oil, garlic
and peppers). Pulses – specially white beans – potatoes, wonderful
breads, olives, country-products like snails, frogs' legs and
game meats are the ingredients of a healthy and delicious cuisine,
authentic and very nutritious. We must not forget the excellent
fruits from the Ebro river valley, like the plums from the Lower
Bank of the Ebro River, pears and apples from Almunia de Doña
Godina, cherries from the Ribota Valley, apricots from Burgo de
Ebro and the delicious peaches.
