Mojama (''Mosciame'' in Italy) is a mediterranean delicacy consisting of filleted salt-cured tuna. The word ''mojama'' comes from the Arabic ''musama'' (dry), but its origins are Phoenician, specifically from ''Gdr'' (Gadir, Cádiz today), the first Phoenician settlement in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The Phoenicians had learned to dry tuna in sea salt to make it appropriate for trade. Mojama is made using the loins of the tuna by curing them in salt for two days. The salt is then removed, the loins are washed and then laid out to dry in the sun and the breeze (according to the traditional method) for fifteen to twenty days. It is usually served in extremely thin slices with olive oil and chopped tomatoes or almonds. In Madrid mojama is very popular mid afternoon tapa and is served with a short beer and olives. ==See also== *Gravlax, Scandinavian cured raw salmon *Gwamegi, Korean half-dried Pacific herring or Pacific saury *Lox, Jewish cured salmon fillet *Lutefisk, Scandinavian salted/dried whitefish *Rakfisk, Norwegian salted and fermented fish * Valhoa Mas, Maldives salted fish * List of dried foods * List of Spanish dishes * 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「Mojama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
