A spicy eel stew flavored with garlic and paprika.

Why try it?

All i Pebre is a distinct dish of Valencia's Albufera region, illustrating the culinary traditions of local eel fishing. It captures the essence of Valencian waters and the robust flavors beloved in the region.

How it tastes

The stew boasts a bold and peppery kick from the paprika, with a rich, garlicky broth coating tender eel pieces. It's aromatic and heartwarming, ideally paired with crusty bread to absorb the flavorsome sauce.
