Cassava Tortilla

In the Papaloapan Basin region, it is very common for families with small farms to plant and harvest this tuber. Cassava tortillas are usually eaten on their own in local homes, as they believe this is the best way to enjoy them. Sometimes, bean paste is added. These tortillas have a different texture compared to nixtamal tortillas; they are a bit elastic.

Eggplant, Potato, and Onion Tortilla Eggplant, Potato, and Onion Tortilla
In Catalonia, it's called Dijous Gras; in the Balearic Islands, Dijous Llarder; and elsewhere, Jueves Lardero. The word 'lardero' comes from the Latin 'lardarius,' meaning 'pork butcher.'This day is also known in many places as 'Tortilla Day.' It marks the start of Carnival festivities and signals that there's one week until Ash Wednesday, which begins Lent—meaning 40 days until Easter.What's the connection between this day and tortillas?There are many theories, but the most common is that, in the past, people made tortillas with flour and pork fat on this day and would go out to the countryside to eat them.Nowadays, flour and fat have been replaced by eggs, which is why it's traditional to bring a tortilla sandwich to school or work.Of course, each region celebrates this day differently, with a variety of foods and traditions.Basically, it's a day spent outdoors where food plays a big role. The celebration is especially popular in the eastern regions of the Iberian Peninsula, where there's a saying: 'Jueves lardero, longaniza en el puchero' (On Lardero Thursday, sausage in the pot). josevillaltaTranslated from Cookpad Spain -
