ONCE wanted to dedicate one of its coupons to one of the most typical desserts of Murcia. The presentation of this ticket took place this Wednesday at the Regional Crafts Center of the capital, where the image that will illustrate five and a half million coupons for the draw next Sunday, January 7, 2024, was unveiled: the paparajotes.
This sweet, made with lemon leaves coated with a flour dough, eggs, milk and fried in oil, is considered one of the star recipes of the Murcian garden. It is believed that the Arabs were the first to introduce it to the Iberian Peninsula, although the Sephardim (Jews of Arab origin) could also have brought it, for whom its origins have thousands of years of history.
That is why it has been selected to be part of the series 'Un dulce?', with which ONCE tries to highlight some of the most representative dishes of Spanish gastronomy.
