Granada is a major tourist attraction in Spain due to its historic and architectural monuments. There are lots of things you could see and do in Granada, but you wouldn\u2019t enjoy that without having a taste of Granada\u2019s cuisine. We already talked about the best tapas in Granada<\/a>. Today, read on and discover the various pieces of traditional food you shouldn\u2019t go without having in Granada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Granada<\/p>\n

Habas con jam\u00f3n<\/h2>\n

A traditional recipe of broad beans and ham<\/strong>, which are cheap and a popular delicacy in Granada. The beans are saut\u00e9ed with onions, ham and spices of your choice to make a tasty meal. Sometimes, the recipe could have peas instead of beans, depending on the season.
\nIt is a complete meal, very nutritious, and served in various bars and restaurants in Granada. To get the full flavor of the recipe, get the beans from their pods instead of the frozen ones in supermarkets. Also, ensure to saut\u00e9 the beans and ham over very low heat to get the best of the recipe.<\/p>\n

Tortilla del Sacromonte<\/h2>\n

It is a popular traditional egg dish that combines lamb or calf brains and testicles<\/strong>. Other additions include peas, breadcrumbs, nuts, potatoes, chorizo, and peppers. First, the testicles and brains are saut\u00e9ed with white wine and bay leaves to bring out the flavors before adding the other ingredients.<\/p>\n

The dish has a rich history and it\u2019s believed to have originated from the Sacromonte neighborhood<\/strong>. The dish is found in Andalusia but is associated with Granada. Like any other egg dish, the outer layers form a crispy crunch while the inner layers are soft.<\/p>\n

Piononos<\/h2>\n

It is a pastry from the Hispanic-Muslim era between the 8th and 15th centuries<\/strong>. During this time, Granada was heavily influenced by Arabic culture. The small cake has two parts: one is a thin, layered, moist pastry filled with cream and cinnamon, while the other is the toasted cream on top.<\/p>\n

Remoj\u00f3n grana\u00edno<\/h2>\n

The remoj\u00f3n is a typical salad in Granada. It\u2019s easy to prepare and it has a long-standing tradition with the Granada locals and it’s also known as the Granadino soak. The soak is a garden product made of typical things within reach.<\/p>\n

The egg and cod were within reach for fishermen and people involved along the coast. The cod could be salted and kept for weeks without going bad. The soak was made with oranges, cod, onion, and black olives. The last bit would be to cut the eggs into pieces and present the salad.<\/p>\n

Jam\u00f3n de Trev\u00e9lez<\/h2>\n

It is one of the best Serrano Ham, and it won the Spanish award in 2018<\/strong>. Made from English pig, the meat is tasty, soft, and flavorful. The feed received by these pigs is natural, which makes the ham even more appealing for visitors.<\/p>\n

Olla de San Ant\u00f3n<\/h2>\n

It is a traditional stew made with beans, rice, and pork<\/strong>. The meat consists of the pig leftovers after a slaughter, which commonly happens during the first week of February, the time around which Saint Anthony\u2019s Day is celebrated. During this time, you can enjoy the stew in Granadian restaurants until all the ingredients run out.<\/p>\n
