Boal

From Eating Asturias, the Encyclopedia of Asturian Gastronomy


This concejo is popular for its vegetables, with cimois (rapini) and nabizas (turnip greens) being its stars, and cooked in several forms: broth, with lacón, in pote. Also worth highlighting is the rapa or rapón de maíz (a type of empanada). For a sweet taste of Boal, they offer venera (almond, hazelnut or walnut cake) and requexón con miel de brezo (mascarpone-style cheese topped with heather honey). Honey is very important in Boal, and they celebrate the Feria de la Miel in the fall.
