Introducing Fira de la Candelera 2019

I knew what Coradella was last year, when the readers of Cuina magazine chose it as the favourite dish of Catalans for 2018.

A quite difficult dish for many people because it is made with lamb offals (heart, blood, liver...). A typical dish for countryside people that become a symbol of  Molins de Rei. This year is the star of Fira de la Candelera.


At the presentation, Marc Morro (from El Taller restaurant) cooked it, at Mercat de Molins de Rei, in a version, Curàmpling (Coradella dumpling), with three different styles: fried...



... steamed...



... and grilled.



The truth it is a wonderful way for starting eating Coradella for those with some problems.

Immediately, we went to Sala Gòtica del Palau dels Requesens, where there was the presentation of Candelera activities for this year.


Activities marked by gastronomy, because the goal is give a gastronomical mood for a city that it is fighting for it.



It is remarkable it is a fair of fairs, where there are some of tjem as the one of wine, the oldest in Catalunya. This year the invited D.O. is D.O. Costers del Segre.



At the end of the morning, it was time for prizes for the best Coradella.

As traditional recipe, won the restaurant El Tast.



El Pati de Molins won the prize for the innovative recipe with "Scallops with Coradella and caramelized onion"



And there was a special mention for the recipe of restaurant Diana.


Tararot, was chosen as the best D.O. Costers del Segre wine for maridating with Coradella, for being young and fruity.

Everybody is invited to visit Molins de Rei from february 1st to 3rd!
