All i pebre is a traditional signature dish of Valencia and the surrounding area, although its origin is in the Albufera wetlands near the city. The name of the dish means garlic and pepper, referring to the sauce, a key component of the dish. Other ingredients include eel and potatoes, but the eel can be replaced with other types of fish, while the potatoes are often replaced with bread. However, the spicy sauce consisting of olive oil, garlic, and paprika is essential. The dish is often prepared in an earthenware bowl, and once done, it's served with bread on the side, which is used for dipping.
