A little Galician tapas on the menu! Grelos with calabizo and crispy rice with paprika!

 

A vegan, digestive and very seasonal recipe that you will love!

 

Created by Lidia, Galician and celiac and author of the blog Lidia Disfruta Sin Gluten who shares delicious recipes, always gluten-free.

 

This recipe couldn't be more Galician, made with turnip greens, a very typical Galician vegetable, and pumpkin which, as you know, we make in Nigrán, south of Pontevedra.

 

The taste of turnip greens has been described as very pleasant, slightly bitter and spicy, close to that of walnuts. Turnip greens are a source of vitamins A, C, K as well as potassium, calcium and iron.

From Calabizo we recommend the turnip greens from A Rosaleira, the oldest vegetable canning factory in Galicia, which offers high quality products.

 

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
