1 delicious alicantinian recipes from around the world
Arroz a Banda, meaning 'rice on the side,' is a classic Valencian and Alicantinian rice dish. Traditionally, it was prepared by fishermen who would cook the rice in a flavorful fish broth made from the 'morralla' (leftover fish bones and heads). The best fish was sold, and the rice, cooked separately ('a banda'), was served first, followed by the fish. Modern versions often combine the rice and seafood in one dish, served with alioli (garlic mayonnaise).
