Arròs brut

Arròs brut is a traditional Mallorcan dish. It's made with a combination of onions, tomatoes, rice, mushrooms, pieces of meat such as chicken or rabbit, and vegetables such as peas, red peppers, and green beans. The name of the dish means dirty rice, and it's always prepared with excess water so that it remains soupy. The spices used in this rice dish usually include paprika, saffron, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. The ingredients always vary and might include pork, snails, artichokes, and many other ingredients depending on the season. Originally, arròs brut was made with hare or pigeon meat, blood and innards included, and that's how the dish got its name.
