Lovers guacamole they always strive to find the best nachos to dip into it. In the same way, hummus fans do it with different types of bread or breadsticks. However, all these options can be overshadowed by the Murcian crespillo.
What is the crest?
This is especially typical of Lorca y Cartagena. Its peculiarity lies in the texture and the optimal level of salt. It is a piece of round bread, salty y till (although not as much as a wafer). So, it resembles sweet cakes even though it is a salty food. We can also highlight your ingredients: flour, salt, white wine and oil.
On some occasions, lard is used to prepare the crespillo, but it is not usually the norm. It depends on the locality. This same dough is baked in the same ovens in which bread is made, so it grabs part of its flavor.
We recommend it especially for the hummus since it is very practical to cut a piece and use it as a spoon. What's more, it is something more comfortable than cutting a piece of loaf of bread. In addition, its peculiar flavor enhances the smoothness of the hummus while maintaining the right degree of salt. You can also use it to "dip" ratatouille, guacamole or any sauce you can think of. Without a doubt, this is also an ideal option for tasting different sauces without using something as basic as a poll.
Regional differences
We must review some differences although the recipe is more or less the same everywhere. For example, in Cartagena they are usually round and their color resembles that of white bread. This is its most typical format and one that we have already talked about. In fact, many people refer to food as "cartagenero crespillo". However, Lorca's is rectangular and somewhat thinner.
In addition, it contains peppers, which gives it an orange touch. However, both have bubbles originated during the cooking. To finish, we highlight that Alicante salt cakes or cokes are very similar. However, white wine is not used to make them. We urge you to try it when you can. in case of not being able to attend Murcia You always have the option of preparing it at home by watching a tutorial. What are you waiting for?
