Olla de San Antón

(St. Anthony's Pot, Saint Antonio's Stew)

Olla de San Antón is a Spanish stew originating from Granada. It's made with beans, rice, and pork. The meat usually consists of leftovers from the traditional pig slaughter which takes place around the time of Saint Anthony's Day celebration, so the dish is especially popular during the first weeks of February, when traditional Granadian restaurants serve it until they run out of ingredients.


It is believed that olla de San Antón (lit. St. Anthony's pot) can be traced back to the time of the Spanish Civil War.
