Esgarraet (from Valencian esgarradet, meaning "torn apart") is a typical dish from the Valencian community in Spain. It consists of grilled red pepper salad, cured cod, garlic, olive oil. Some variations also add black olives. The name derives from the preparation technique that requires to rip both the peppers and the fish in fine strips.
It is also served as tapa and is very typical for the city of Valencia. It is very popular, as the flavour of the salt cod fish contrast very well with the sweetness of the peppers and its juice that mixes with the olive oil is commonly soaked up with bread.
