The traditional one from the place where it was invented and the avant-garde one from Aponiente: we bring you this classic of Cádiz tapas in two versions, and we also tell you where to find the best copies.
SECOND:
CUTTLEFISH WITH PEAS PESTO
Italians: do not look, because the pesto in this recipe is not very canonical.
But its flavor is as rich as a good piece of grilled cuttlefish, so imagine the combination.
It won't be very canonical, okay, but you say no to that cuttlefish STOMAKO
DESSERT:
SEASONAL FRUIT: GRAPEFRUIT
Poor grapefruit, relegated since the eighties to the category of diet breakfast due to its bitterness and lightness.
Have you tried it roasted?

FIRST:
COUSCOUS AND TEMPEH SALAD WITH HOMEMADE TAPENADE
We prepare a cold couscous with tempeh, a soy derivative with much more flavor than tofu.
