Pastel de boniato
- Dulces
Pastel de boniato, sweet potato pastry, is an irresistible snack, typical of Valencian cuisine, that can be enjoyed anytime of the day. It’s best munched on accompanied by a coffee or a glass of mistela, a Valencian wine liqueur. Popular in Castellón, Valencia and Alicante, it isn’t difficult to find these moon-shaped, baked delights, especially around Christmas time!
The ingredients required to craft these golden pastries bear a distinct Arab influence, reflecting Valencia's rich and diverse culinary heritage.
