Michirones: A Hearty Bean Stew
One standout favourite is Michirones, a hearty dried bean stew often served as a tapa in bars and restaurants across the Region of Murcia. Made with broad beans soaked for up to 48 hours, this dish is typically served in rustic clay bowls, enhanced with chorizo, peppers, and chilies for a deliciously warming experience.
Olla Gitana: A Unique Blend of Sweet and Savoury
Another beloved dish is Olla Gitana, a rich vegetable stew blending pumpkin, pears, and chickpeas with a touch of mint. This unique combination of sweet and savoury flavours makes it an autumn favourite, perfect for cooler days.
