Cachopo
One of the typical dishes in Asturias is the Cachopo. This dish consists of two veal fillets between which a stuffing of ham and cheese is added, and some even put mushrooms and peppers in those that are more elaborate.
Then, the steaks are breaded with eggs, bread crumbs and fried. It is an ideal meal for lunch, since it is a bit substantial. We encourage you to accompany it with a good cider.

Cider
Cider is next on the list because it is the most typical drink of Asturias and the ideal accompaniment for all traditional recipes.
Asturian cider is really delicious, where its main ingredient is the apple. For its preparation, the apple must be fermented for two or three months until a natural cider is obtained. It can be tasted in many establishments that offer cider as an accompaniment to traditional dishes. We recommend you to order a good cachopo or a cheese board to taste the cider.
