Gachas is an ancestral basic dish from central and southern Spain. Its main ingredients are flour, water, olive oil, garlic and salt. ==Origin== Gachas are based on a very ancient Iberian flour-based staple food preparation. Gachas may have different consistencies, from a liquid soup to a pie-like thick cake with a golden crust. The way of preparing them changes from area to area and from family to family. Gachas is considered an unrefined rural dish, the food of shepherds, farmers and itinerant labourers. It has been also described as a 'fundamental Gitano dish'.〔(La Cocina Gitana ) Las gachas, plato fundamental gitano〕 The ''gachas'' have largely been ousted by rice and potato dishes in most areas of Spain during the 20th century, especially in the towns and cities. Consumption of this simple dish resurfaced again during economic downturns and upheavals, like the Spanish Civil War, earning it the name ''gachas de los años difíciles'' (gachas of the hard years). Certain modern chefs argue though, that well-prepared gachas are not necessarily a coarse dish.〔(Basque chef Karlos Arguiñano's recipe ) 〕 As a good Iberian dish, gachas are often served with pork products, like salted or fresh bacon, chorizo, salchichón, morcilla, among others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gachas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
