Escudella amb carn d’olla

Escudella amb carn d’olla. Just as the Valencian Community is known for being a land of rice dishes, Catalonia is known for its Escudelles, although they are also made in Mallorca. Escudella amb carn d’olla is the most traditional Catalan stew made with meat & vegetables cooked together. Vegetables include chickpeas, potatoes, green cabbage, celery, carrots, onions & turnips.

Meats include a characteristic sort of big meatballs called pilota or can also include pieces of the Catalan sausage butifarra, veal, chicken, pork…well anything really. When both veggies and meat parts are served mixed together, it is called escudella barrejada. There is also a particular version escudella de nadal or sopa de galets  served in Christmas. You are usually served the soup with pasta as & then its more solid ingredients as the main dish.

Terra d’Escudella is a restaurant that prides in its love of the Escudella and its love for Catalan nationality. Their love for Catalan tradition is transmitted through its food, a food that stems from the rich gastronomic culture of the Catalan country.
