All i pebre (garlic and pepper) is the eel-and-garlic stew of La Albufera south of Valencia: eel cubes in a thick paprika and garlic broth, with new potatoes.

All i pebre (garlic and pepper) is the canonical fishermen's stew of La Albufera, the freshwater lagoon south of Valencia where eels were trapped in the rice-paddy channels. The dish was cooked over open fires in the lagoon's fishing villages, especially El Palmar. Eel pieces are simmered with garlic, sweet paprika, almonds and potatoes until the broth thickens. The dish remains the El Palmar specialty, served in the village's arrocerias with eel from the Albufera itself.
