A cataplana is an original casserole with a spherical shape that allows steaming large quantities of food, providing a healthy, natural and nutritious way for every dish you prepare.

A cataplana consists of two spherical halves that are joined by hinges that serve for a hermetic seal that allows steaming the food.

It starts with a lightly fried sauce of oil, garlic, peppers, vegetables and potatoes, later adding fish or meat that are to be prepared with a drizzle of wine and bay leaves or other herbs, to bring you this plus of taste the way you like.

It is at this point where we would cover the cataplana with its upper part and close it to end the steaming of all ingredients.

As in all steam cooking the main advantage is the fact that it always keeps the original flavors and tastes of the ingredients.

Being sealed the cataplana, the stews will strengthen and preserve all its flavor.

The most famous cataplanas are fish or seafood with rice or potatoes, and also with meat or poultry, even with pasta, champignons or other mushrooms.

When finished, the presentation of the dish keeps its secret until the last moment, because it is brought to the table closed, and it is only opened when you start serving to eat.

Cooking a cataplana is an art that will be refined over time, and a ritual that surely will capture the attention of all your guests.
