Cordoba -- Gastronomy
Cordovan cuisine is strongly influenced by the centuries of Muslim presence. This shows in its taste for spices like oregano, mint, tarragon and in the use of many foods that were introduced by the Arabs, like rice, spinach and bitter orange. Another inherited custom is the preference for sweet and sour foods and the use of vegetables not as side dishes, but rather as main courses. Delicious dishes are made with fried courgette, aubergine, alboronía (vegetable stew) and artichokes. Other dishes from this rich heritage are the traditional perol cordobés (meat and rice casserole) made with ground almonds, raisins and apple chunks and the olla cortijera (chickpea stew). The desserts are also delicious, specially the Cordovan pie, made with puff pastry, pumpkin preserves and cured ham. The use of ham in this dessert is somewhat recent and it has come to replace turkey, who in turn replaced hen, the original filling.
Cordovan pie is very common, but it not by any means the only dessert from this region, where sweets abound. We recommend ring-shaped pastries from Priego, quince jelly from Puente Genil and the meringues from Aguilar. The Christians also left their legacy in the confectionery of Córdoba, with delicious, rich desserts like perrunas (baked sweet made with flour, lard, orange juice and lemon peel), honey-coated pastries and shortbread.As for wines, in Córdoba you should have the ones with Designation of Origin Montilla-Moriles, which are dry and aromatic. The latest trend of this D.O. is the making of white table wines with low alcoholic-content, semi-sweet and dry. Pedro Ximénez white wines are also exceptional.
