Zarajos

Hailing from Cuenca, zarajos is an offal specialty that is prepared with marinated intestines of suckling lambs. The intestines are marinated in different combinations of olive oil, garlic, parsley, and salt. They are then wrapped around vine shoots, which act as skewers. Tightly wrapped clusters can then be fried in olive oil, roasted, or grilled. Zarajos are usually served as an appetizer or a tapa, and they usually come topped with a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of lemon juice. This specialty is a staple in Cuenca, but they are also enjoyed in other parts of Castile–La Mancha.
