Andalusia is well known for its rich culinary<\/a> tradition<\/strong>, full of influences of a variety of cultures along history. Though the most present, not only in its gastronomy<\/a>, is probably the Moorish one. Fresh and savoury<\/strong>, with typical Mediterranean ingredients, vibrant flavours and an endless list of delicious dishes<\/strong>, deciding what to eat in Andalucia can be a bit difficult with so many delicacies to choose from. Would you like to know some of the most typical dishes of Andalusia? At Saz\u00f3n The Folk Cook<\/a> we\u2019ll show you!<\/p>\n

\"What
Fresh and tasty gazpacho<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fresh soups like Gazpacho and Salmorejo<\/h2>\n

Ideal for hot sunny days and a<\/strong> perfect starter for a summer<\/a> lunch<\/strong>, both gazpacho<\/em> and salmorejo<\/a><\/em> are universally known for being so tasty and so simple<\/strong> at the same time. The main ingredient (the one that should never be missing) is tomato; the redder and the ripper, the better for our recipes. While gazpacho<\/a> <\/em>is a dish to drink rather than to eat (even if it is a cold soup), salmorejo<\/em> is a thicker soup much closer to a cold cream, let\u2019s say. There are a few more variations depending on where you are in Andalusia, as for example, the porra antequerana.<\/em> It is worth trying them all!<\/p>\n

Pipirrana<\/h2>\n

If we continue exploring what to eat in Andalusia, we cannot miss another deliciously refreshing dish<\/strong>, the pipirrana<\/a><\/em>. Once more, tomato is the main ingredient in the recipe. But now we are faced with an exquisite original salad that can be eaten either with a fork or served as a tapa<\/em> on top of a slice of bread. Fresh onion, tuna or olive, plus the classic salad dressing consisting of olive oil<\/a>, salt and vinegar. Delightful!<\/p>\n

Cod and orange salad<\/h2>\n

Another salad widely spread in southern Spain<\/a> is the one with oranges and cod. In the whole country, salted cod is very common and cooked in many different ways<\/strong>. This recipe, also known as remoj\u00f3n andaluz<\/a>,<\/em> consists of desalted and crumbled cod, diced oranges, sliced onion, black olives<\/a> and olive oil. If you try to cook it, remember not to put any salt, as the cod, even desalted, will be enough.<\/p>\n

\"What
Crispy & delicious tortillitas de camar\u00f3n<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tortillitas de camar\u00f3n<\/h2>\n

A fishy dish, and a good option if you don\u2019t know what to eat in Andalusia. More a starter than a main course, with this exquisite snack, tasty and crunchy,<\/strong> you will instantly capture the essence of Andalusian gastronomy. Although not all of it, of course, because the culinary richness of this country and this region is immense. One curious fact: despite being called \u201ctortillitas<\/em>\u201d (little omelettes), there are no eggs in its recipe.<\/p>\n

Pesca\u00edto frito<\/h2>\n

Fried fish, a good-sized tray of assorted ones<\/strong>, is just something that has a different and heavenly flavour in Andalusia. It is even said that the fried fish was invented in C\u00e1diz<\/a>. But the truth is that no matter in which region of Andalusia you eat it, you will be delighted!<\/p>\n

\"Iberian
Iberian ham is a treat<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iberian ham<\/h2>\n

Iberian ham is more than famous all over the world<\/strong>. The whole of Spain has a strong tradition related to it, and there are several places where the quality of the ham is more appreciated than the rest. One of these places is in Andalusia, specifically in Jabugo, Huelva<\/a>. The Jam\u00f3n de Jabugo<\/a> has its own protected designation of origin (PDO)<\/strong> and it is one of most highly valued culinary products in Spanish<\/a> gastronomy. Don\u2019t miss out on a good dish of assorted cured meats and an exquisite Iberian ham!<\/p>\n

Carrillada de cerdo<\/h2>\n

Pork cheeks<\/a>, for instance, is one of the most delicious meat dishes you can enjoy in Andalusia. Normally accompanied with creamy savoury sauces, it melts in your mouth.<\/p>\n

\"What
Piononos, an irresistible cake from Granada<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Piononos or Pesti\u00f1os<\/h2>\n

One of the most typical Andalusian desserts<\/strong> are the piononos<\/a>,<\/em> a soft cake soaked in syrup, custard and egg yolk.
