Created by Chef Isabel
Leon's Maragateria cocido is served meat first, then chickpeas and cabbage, then the fideo soup. Build the broth slowly and serve it in vuelcos, the old order.

Cocido Maragato belongs to Leon's Maragateria, and it is not just another cocido with more meat. What marks it out is the order: the meats first, then the chickpeas with cabbage, and the fideo soup last. Backwards, people say. But for a table that worked hard, meat first made sense.
