Traditional Sobrasada Recipes for Any Occasion
Coca de Trampó with Sobrasada
One of the great classics of the island’s gastronomy is the coca de trampó. It’s a simple yet flavorful dish where sobrasada adds a special touch. To prepare it, you only need a coca dough base, the typical trampó (a mix of bell pepper, tomato, and onion), and generous chunks of sobrasada. The key is how the sobrasada melts with the fresh ingredients in the oven, offering a 100% Mallorcan taste experience.
Arroz Brut with Sobrasada
Arroz brut is a traditional dish particularly enjoyed during the colder months. Filled with local ingredients like pork, mushrooms, and vegetables, sobrasada becomes the perfect complement, adding a smoky and spiced touch that defines the dish. As the rice cooks, the sobrasada melts slowly, infusing the dish with its aroma and flavor—a true delight from the land.
Mallorcan Frito with Sobrasada
When speaking of Mallorcan tradition, Mallorcan frito cannot be forgotten. This hearty dish combines meat, potatoes, liver, and vegetables, and with the sobrasada added at the end, the result is a frito full of character. The sobrasada blends with the spices of the frito, creating a combination that represents the essence of local cuisine.
