Ibiza held this Saturday the third edition of the Concurs de Truita de Patata Vermella, a gastronomic event that brought together twelve teams in the Paseo de Vara de Rey to compete for the best omelette made with local produce. The event was held in parallel to the II Fira de Sabors, where producers of the island offered a wide sample of local foods.
“Eggs pages and Ibizan red potato, those are the ingredients that must be in the omelets that compete and that put in value the local products,” recalled at a press conference last Thursday Àlex Minchiotti, Councillor for Trade and Markets of the City Council of Ibiza.
The contest, open to food lovers of all ages, allowed the participation of groups, clubs and associations. Each team received eggs and five kilos of potato vermella provided by the organization and had a tent equipped with tables and stools to prepare their recipes in the spaces provided by the Consistory.
During the morning, the teams worked on their creations until 2 p.m., when the tortillas were presented to the jury.
Thereafter, the members of the jury began the tasting and evaluated criteria such as originality, presentation, difficulty of preparation, taste and aroma. After the deliberation, the first prize went to the Cocinitas team , which received a large basket of local products provided by the participants of the II Fira de Sabors.
Second place went to Ole Maños and third place to Sa FigaFlor, both of which were also awarded baskets of products from this Ibizan gastronomic fair.
The City Council highlighted the success of participation in a day marked by the coexistence, the promotion of the flavors of the island and the claim of the local product as the centerpiece of the celebration.
