Esgarrat

Esgarrat is a traditional dish originating from Valencia. It's made with red peppers, cod, garlic, olive oil, and salt. This simple appetizer is prepared by roasting the peppers and the cod on a grill. The skin is then peeled off the peppers and ripped into irregular strips by hand.

The cod is also ripped into strips, and it's then placed on top of the peppers. The dish is seasoned with garlic, salt, and lots of olive oil. The name of the dish refers to the method of preparation, meaning that the ingredients must be ripped or torn.

Esgarrat is often served at bars, where it's mopped up with bread. In the past, the dish used to be a staple of hungry fishermen. There are also other varieties, and most of them incorporate black olives in the dish.
