Palma de majorca -- Gastronomy
Being an island, Majorca is a great destination for seafood, specially lobster and cuttlefish. Many delicious fish and seafood dishes make up the repertoire of Majorcan cuisine, with delicacies like fish soup, espinagada from Sa Pobla (a stuffing made with eel and spinach and then wrapped with pastry), bonito casserole, rajada (ray) and red mullet, this last one either grilled, fried, or in a Moorish-style sauce. Majorcan savoury pies are also famous, specially the ones made with fish from Sant Joan.
Vegetables are the base of many traditional dishes, such as tumbet, a pie made with potatoes, aubergine, peppers and tomato sauce. Aubergines, very common in Majorcan cuisine, are also stuffed with meat or fish and baked in the oven. Eggs are prepared Sóller-style, fried over sobrasada (Majorcan sausage) and covered by an elaborate sauce made with milk and vegetables. Stuffed hen with pomegranate sauce and turkey breast with almond sauce are delicious main courses and for dessert you may go for the queen of all Majorcan pastries, the ensaimada, a spiral shaped pastry made with lard. Another gem of Majorcan cuisine is the coca, a type of bun that depending of the filling (either vegetables, meats, salted fish, or sweet stuff like jam, pumpkin preserves and baked fruits) can be had either as an appetiser, a main course, or a dessert. Other great types of coca are the apricot coca, the ones made by the Holy Conception nuns, the one made by the recipe of Angela de Binissalem, etc. Garrometes del Papa, avellanats, almond cream and ous molls are also great desserts.
The best wines in the island of Majorca are under the Designation of Origin Binissalem and Pla i Levant. The red wines stand out, with a deep crimson colour, but also do the white and rosé kinds.
