Arròs amb fesols i naps (in Spanish, arroz con alubias y nabos) is one of the most traditional rice dishes in the Valencian Community and is also part of the popular recipe book of Dénia. It is made with rice, white beans, turnips and, in many occasions, with meats such as pork or sausages that enrich the broth and give it a deep flavor. Its mellow texture and intense aroma make it a comforting dish, perfect for the colder months.
In Dénia, this rice is not only enjoyed at the table, but it is also linked to the celebrations and social life of the city. Its hearty and nutritious character makes it the protagonist of family gatherings, popular festivals and gastronomic days in which the most authentic cuisine of the land is put in value. Thus, arròs amb fesols i naps transcends the recipe to become a symbol of identity and shared tradition.
