Pastel de Cierva

Cierva Cake

The Cierva pastry is a typical preparation from the Murcia region, dated to the end of the 19th century (with legend included) on the coast of the Mar Menor. It is a somewhat peculiar recipe, as it combines in a single bite the savory flavor of the filling with the sweetness of the dough. It’s a quite striking contrast, especially for someone who didn't know it from childhood and comes across it so suddenly, since the sweet/salty contrasts are very pronounced.
Focaccia de aceitunas y mozzarella (Focaccia de Liguria)

Olive and Mozzarella Focaccia (Ligurian Focaccia)
