The gastronomy of Tafalla is strongly connected to fresh vegetable garden products and is known for having a simple cuisine. This reminds us about the traditional flavors from our grandmother’s recipes. The proximity to the fertile vegetable gardens from the south is the reason why artichokes, aspargus with I.G.P. Navarra and pepers are common. With these ingredients, dishes such as the ratatouille and menestras are made, usually served with olive oil and potato.
