Poultry recipes the Mediterranean way

Poultry recipes are one of the most special achievements of Catalan cuisine. They combine divinely with pears, cherries or olives. And we've been enjoying gourmet poultry since the Middle Ages.

Already the Catalan medieval cookbook Libre de Sent Sovi goes into great detail as to how to prepare and cook poultry. It was very popular among well-off households.

Some poultry recipes are authentic gourmet meal recipes for big holidays like roasted duck with pears or cherries. However, one particular version of stewed duck, for instance, is easy enough for a weekend meal.

Other poultry recipes such as stuffed turkey are typical of Christmas in all the Catalan-speaking countries. Although they are not so old, because turkeys only reached our Mediterranean coast from Mexico in the 16th century, the tradition is well-rooted.
