Baked rice is one of the most traditional recipes of Valencian cuisine and also has a prominent place in the gastronomy of Dénia. Prepared in a clay pot, it combines rice with ingredients such as ribs, sausages, chickpeas and tomato, which are baked slowly until a dish full of aromas and nuances is achieved. Its humble origin, linked to the use of the leftovers of the stew, makes it a perfect example of the root cuisine.
In Dénia, this rice is synonymous with family tradition and meeting around the table. With its intense flavor and characteristic texture, baked rice conveys the essence of a Mediterranean cuisine that knows how to get the best out of each product and keep alive the customs of always.
