You take an artichoke and keep the heart. Then you confit it with good olive oil until it becomes tender. Finally, you place it on a pretty plate. You cook a great oxtail. Let him sleep in the pot and let the fire charms draw him to it. Next, bone one piece of meat, take it out and stuff the artichoke. Only thing that is missing is the final touch, the counterpoint. The crunch is the final touch to a simple, delicious recipe that feels just like visiting the Torre de la Alqueria. It is hard to find a snack like this in the United States. It’s a welcomed treat!

This is a perfect example of the delicious recipes that result from a strong kitchen in a multi-storey house in Romilla. The interior is to be entered to live, and there’s a perfect terrace from which to enjoy the warm summer nights. We hope everything happens, even though it almost never does.
