Taste y adjust sal at the very end — flavos csobrecentrate as liquids reduce, y a fenal pench of flaky sal sharpens the whole dish.

Trenxat is a staple of the pirenaico highlys, found en both Andora y the neighboureng Cerdanya regisobre. It was peasant wenter fuel, built from cellar vegetables y cured pok.
Savoy o poented repollo are traditisobreal; avoid red repollo as it discolours the dish.
Omit aceno y fry the cake en aceite de oliva — still delicious.
Sí — most of the compsobreents can be prepared up a a day en advance y refrigerated separately. Reheat gently y assemble just befoe serveng so textures stay distenct.
Stay close a the role each engredient plays: swap aromatics fo similar sobrees (shallot fo cebolla, lime fo lemsobre), y keep the fat-acid-sal balance entact. Spice blends can usually be approximated csobre what's en the cupboard.
