Fighting bull meat can be eaten another way. That is the idea that chef Juan Miguel Molina, from the Rustir Bistrobar restaurant in Olula del Río, presented this Monday at the Espacio Gastronómico of the Mercado Central de Almería, where he prepared two dishes featuring this product in front of the public.
Liquid croquette and lasagna
The two proposals were a liquid oxtail croquette and an oxtail lasagna with black garlic béchamel and pecorino cheese. As the cook explained during the demonstration, which was held between 11.30 and 13.00 hours, these are traditional recipes reinterpreted with current techniques and presentations. Attendees were able to try both preparations and learn first-hand about the characteristics of this meat and its versatility in the kitchen.
The activity is part of the II Semana Gastronómica del Toro de Lidia, organized by the Asociación Provincial de Empresarios de Hostelería de Almería (ASHAL), which is being held until Sunday, October 25.
Twelve venues and advance booking
Twelve hospitality establishments are taking part in this edition, ten of them in the capital: Bodega Las Botas, Quinto Toro, Baviera, Tortillería La Mala, La Bambalina, La Bellota y el Buey, La Espina, El Taranto, La Encina and Arrozante, the latter in El Toyo. They are joined by Taller de Sabores, in Huércal de Almería, and Rustir Bistrobar, in Olula del Río.
Anyone who wants to try their proposals can do so until Sunday, October 25, with advance booking at each of the participating venues.
Prize ceremony of the Ruta del Desayuno
The day at the Mercado Central began with the prize ceremony of the II Ruta del Desayuno, also promoted by ASHAL and held during last September. The winners received vouchers of 100 euros for products of the Sabores Almería brand and a sea excursion for two people sponsored by Mundo Marino, departing from the port of Almería.
The event was attended by the councillor for Commerce, Employment and Almerian Talent, Ana Trigueros; the councillor for Tourism, Communications and City Promotion, Sandro Soler; the provincial deputy for Tourism, María José Herrada; the president of ASHAL, Pedro Sánchez-Fortún, and the Mundo Marino representative Elena Mateu. Trigueros noted that this type of initiative helps boost commerce and hospitality and raise awareness of local gastronomy. Herrada highlighted that a chef from the interior of the province is the protagonist of the activity and recalled that the week brings together venues from Almería, Huércal de Almería and Olula del Río.
