The stew is a stew made with meat and vegetables, with the broth from which a noodle or rice soup is made as a first course and the typical «pilota dolça» (sweet ball) as a dessert. The stew has all kinds of meat, bacon, stalks, chickpeas, turnips, parsnips, carrots, potatoes.

Although the stew is typical of the entire Marina, the dessert that accompanies it, the sweet ball, is made only in El Poble Nou de Benitatxell, thus differentiating this food from the rest of the towns.

The sweet ball is a dessert made with ground almonds, sweet potato, sugar, cinnamon and lemon.

It is a very typical meal that many homes put on the table on special dates such as Christmas, holidays or Sundays. Its characteristic aroma can be seen in the streets of the town these days.
