From the sea to the mountains

With the best of woods and sea, the chef of Cullera de Boix creates this delicious cream.

Surely you’ve tried mushroom creams and probably you also tasted seafood creams. But have you ever tasted a cream that combines this two ingredients? Well, this is the proposal of Xavier Matarrodona, with a cream of mushrooms and sea crabs that synthesizes the best of the sea and the best of the mountain. Because we, the Catalans, love these mixtures, and on this occasion, with this recipe of Cullera de Boix, the king of the sea and the king of the mountain are a very well-matched marriage!
