A good Catalan cream tasted in Spain

A good Catalan cream tasted in Spain.
One of the typical restaurant desserts in Italy but probably originally from Spain.
I already had a post but the photo was not of great quality.
Some time ago I was in Ibiza and I managed to take a new beautiful photo.

Catalana is a typical dessert from Catalonia. It is presented as a soft and creamy base, topped with a crunchy film of caramelized sugar. This famous dessert is traditionally served on March 19th, the Feast of Saint Joseph, and is therefore also called “crema de Sant Josep”. There are many hypotheses about its origins and many countries claim them.

There are dozens of sites that offer you the recipe; I'll just post a couple but Google can certainly be more exhaustive: leitv.it, cucchiaio.it, fanpage.it or buonissimo.it.

Carpaccio di Manzo ad Ibiza

Carpaccio di Manzo ad Ibiza.
A me la carne piace in due modi: o ben cotta oppure cruda. Questo era un classico carpaccio gustato ad Ibiza qualche settimana fa.
Vorrei farvi notare la decorazione di un fiore commestibile, che raffinatezza.
Il tutto fotografato ad Ibiza nel ristorante Casa Maca

Con carpaccio si intende genericamente un piatto a base di fettine di carne o pesce crudi, a cui vengono aggiunti olio o altri ingredienti (salse o scaglie di formaggio grana) a seconda della versione. Il carpaccio proposto da Cipriani consiste in fettine sottilissime di controfiletto di manzo disposte su un piatto e decorate alla Kandinsky, con una salsa che viene chiamata universale. Trattandosi di un piatto da servire crudo, la carne deve sempre essere freschissima e mai decongelata.

The statue of the sailor on the promenade in Ibiza

The statue of the sailor walking in Ibiza.
In the central square of the town of the very famous Balearic island, this statue stands out.
Obviously, being in front of the port, it could only be a tribute to the many sailors who sail the seas from this island too.

Ibiza is a very popular tourist destination, especially among young people, especially for its nightlife, which is mainly concentrated in two areas: on one side in the island's capital and on the other in Sant Antoni de Portmany.

A nice grilled John Dory

A nice grilled John Dory
A great fish to grill and, in the case of the photo, very well prepared. Even the skin was something exceptional.
We were in a restaurant in Palma de Mallorca and it was really excellent.

Do you like fish? Do you like preparing and cooking it at home? Do you have the right knife for filleting and preparing fish? I suggest this one Victorinox.

The livery has a whitish, greyish or yellowish background colour, streaked with beige and brown. The belly is white. In the centre of the body there is a large rounded black ocellus, edged with light. The dorsal rays are white and brown, the ventral ones are grey-brown. The other fins are transparent. The maximum size is around 90 cm in length and 8 kg in weight.

Un bel piattino di Jamon spagnolo

Un bel piattino di Jamon spagnolo.
Noi in Italia abbiamo il prosciutto crudo di Parma oppure il San Daniele; in Spagna hanno il Jamon. Ovviamente ce ne sono di decine di tipi, qualita’ e prezzi (il top e’ sicuramente il Pata Negra).
Questo lo avevo acquistato in un supermercato spagnolo e portato, sotto vuoto (come quasi ovunque fanno in terra iberica per i turisti), a casa.
Una bonta’. Chi non lo ha mai provato, probabilmente, dira’ che quello italiano e’ migliore. Secondo me sono due cose diverse e non credo sia possibile dire quale sia il migliore: tutta questione di gusti!

Jamón ibérico (Iberian ham), or pata negra, or carna negra, is a type of ham from Iberian pigs, highly appreciated in Spanish and Portuguese cuisine, where it is considered a haute cuisine product. For its production, and to be able to boast this name, the meat must come from specimens resulting from a cross in which, from a genetic point of view, at least 50% of the Iberian breed participates.

Trays of great sushi in Palma de Mallorca

Trays of excellent sushi in Palma de Mallorca.
Several weeks ago I went, with some colleagues, to visit and eat at the market de l’olivar in Palma de Mallorca.
Among the various stalls of fish, ham, fruit and Spanish street food there was also this stall that prepared and sold sushi.
We were captivated by the atmosphere and we made ourselves a mixed tray (before obviously moving on to the Spanish food).
It wasn’t bad and above all the counter with pebbles and petals wasn’t bad: very oriental!

The history of sushi begins in ancient times, when rice cultivation came to Japan two thousand years ago. The original sushi was created in Nara to preserve fish in fermented rice. During the Muromachi period, rice began to be eaten in addition to fish, while in the Edo period, vinegar replaced fermented rice. In pre-modern and modern times, sushi has become a form of fast food strongly associated with Japanese culture.

Fiori su palazzo a Ibiza

Fiori su palazzo a Ibiza.
Le stradine di Ibiza tanto fanno proprio venire in mente l’estate.
Questi bei fiori rosa, che adornavano la facciata di questa casa nel centro della cittadina spagnola, facevano proprio un effetto relax.
Come ho gia scritto in altri post Ibiza non e’ solo divertimento sfrenato la notte, e’ anche relax.

A dish with mushrooms and egg in Ibiza

A dish with mushrooms and egg in Ibiza.
I don't like mushrooms and for this reason I can't give you my opinion on the taste.
But according to my friends it was really delicate, especially the egg cooked at low temperature (which is still an egg).
All photographed in Ibiza in the restaurant Casa Maca.

The egg is a food that can be consumed directly or as an ingredient in many dishes from around the world. The most commonly used is the chicken egg, but the eggs of other birds are also consumed: quail, duck, goose, ostrich, etc. In current use, the term "egg" without further clarification indicates that of a chicken. Fish eggs (caviar, lumpfish eggs, bottarga), turtle eggs, mollusc eggs (snails), insects, etc. are also consumed.

Cuttlefish Ink Croquettes

Cuttlefish ink croquettes.
Croquettes, usually with potatoes and ham, can also be found with squid ink.
It was the first time I tried them and I must say I was impressed.
Externally they are like all the others but if you open them (as in the second photo) you will see the difference in color and, when you taste them, in taste.
I tried these in Ibiza at the Chiringuito Restaurant in Cala Gracioneta.

Croquettes are usually enjoyed as an aperitif or as a side dish and are part, I believe, of the Spanish culinary culture of tapas.

The Spanish term tapa refers to a wide variety of typical Spanish food preparations, both savoury and sweet, consumed as appetizers or starters. Spanish tapas are prepared with ingredients related to Mediterranean food production.
Le tapas possono essere fredde, quando vengono preparate, per esempio, con le olive miste e il formaggio, o calde, con polpo e calamari fritti.

Alcune case sul mare nell’isola di Ibiza

Alcune case sul mare nell’isola di Ibiza.
Oltre ad essere la capitale europea del divertimento estivo quest’isola e’ anche molto altro.
Ci sono le spiagge ed anche molti luoghi nascosti e che si apprezzano di volta in volta.
Questo e’ un piccolo promontorio da cui parte il porto della cittadina. All’interno di queste case parte la stretta viuzza che si chiama Carrer de la mare de Deu che ospita decine di bar e piccoli club alternativi e molto curati.

Nel 654 a.C. coloni fenici fondarono un porto nelle isole Baleari, chiamandolo Ibossim. Divenne noto fra i Romani (che lo chiamarono Ebusus) per il suo vino, marmo e piombo. I greci, che arrivarono a Ibiza durante il tempo dei fenici, furono i primi a chiamare le due isole di Ibiza e Formentera Πιτυοῦσσαι (Pityûssai, “isole coperte dai pini”). Col declino fenicio dopo le invasioni assire, Ibiza passò sotto la protezione di Cartagine. L’isola produceva tinta, sale, salsa di pesce (il garum) e lana.
