Gastronomic days "Es Niu" in Palafrugell

"Es Niu" is a very old dish, of Palafrugellense origin, in which in the beginning meat was not included, since it was a Lenten dish. It was made with cod gut, hard-boiled egg, fish and potato. Over time it was enriched, the fishermen added cuttlefish and the corkmen completed it with game birds and even sausages.

It is a typical dish that the groups of corkmen from Palafrugell used to go to eat on Mondays at the barracks.

The preparation of this dish is very long, it lasts about five hours, one for sautéing and four for stewing other ingredients. For this reason, it is very often not found on most restaurant menus and in any case it is necessary to order it.

One of the objectives of these days, which were born in 1998, is, on the one hand, to make "Es Niu" known to those who have not yet discovered it and, on the other, to make it more accessible to lovers of the gastronomy day. traditional.
