Cooked with balls from La Vega Baja
The stew with balls from La Vega Baja del Segura is a traditional dish from our region. Like any other stew from Spain (Madrid, Lebaniego, escudella, Andalusian stew...), it is a comforting, familiar dish, and its recipe passes from generation to generation, never finding two that are the same, and even being the same area, we will always find nuances. However, that is the beauty of these traditional recipes inherited, do not you think?
