Elche and its inventory of Valencian food cannot be concluded
without making reference to a chapter that is as unique as it is considered
modest. This is the case of vegetables and legumes from the Land of Valencia's
famous “huerta” or market gardens surrounding the city and
along the riverbanks. One dish which is probably more frequently eaten than the paella is the so-called bullit, consisting of boiled vegetables like chard, green beans, onion and potato, a simple entrée usually eaten at dinner time. Using broad beans, peppers, artichokes, aubergines, cardoons, calabashes and turnips, thousands of different dishes can be made, starting with imaginative salads and perhaps concluding with assorted vegetables from the grill. According to Valencian gastronomy scholar Carlos Llorca, turnovers called empanadas, pizza-like cocas and minxos form part of a select gastronomic lineup, especially in Alicante province. These are usually stuffed with different vegetables (chard, peas, onion, peppers and aubergine) or covered with dried meats, sausages or salted and dried fish, resulting in delicious creations as good as the finest of pizzas. Exemplifying the kind of wisdom to be found in simplicity, fish and shellfish in Elche are usually prepared in uncomplicated yet mouth-watering ways: baked in the oven, hot from the grill, done over charcoal, lightly fried, or cooked in succulent yet simple stews. Some of the typical fish from which delicious fisherman’s dishes are made include tunny, sardine, hake, red mullet, sole, anglerfish, octopus, swordfish, grey mullet, narrow-mouthed catshark, common pandora, cuttlefish, redfish, mackerels, blue-mouth rock fish, and rays. |
