The word “Alboronía” comes from the Arabic word al-baraniyya which means “some delicacy”, and effectively it is a real delicacy this stew of eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and squash, all well mixed with paprika and served in the days of Lent (in which is forbidden to eat meat). It is for its content and preparation the precursor of the Manchego ratatouille (from La Mancha, in the center of Spain) and other Spanish ratatouilles.
The Alboronía is also very popular in Andalusia.
Alboronía comes from “Al-baraniyya”, but also comes from “Buraniyya”, that in Arabic means “Guiso”(“Stew”).
