The beans are a product closely linked to the municipality. This legume is harvested in April. The most typical bean sets are «faves sacsades» and «arròs amb faves».
«Les faves sacsades» (beans “shakes”) is based on young beans cooked with a sauté of onion and garlic, red paprika, sausage, poached egg and a touch of fennel to flavor them.
«L’arròs amb faves» (rice with beans) uses dried beans. After soaking them, they are peeled. Cooking begins with sautéed onion, red pepper, beans, cabbage and meat. Add the broth and finally the rice.
An opportunity to discover dishes made from beans is the Mitjafava Fest, where the municipality’s restaurants offer innovative tapas with this legume as the protagonist.
