- Rabo de Toro
- Cascoporro is not an ingredient. It is a colloquial Spanish word that nearly always appears in the phrase «a cascoporro», used above all in Castilla-La Mancha and other rural areas. It means in large amounts, in abundance, loads of it. Applied to a tapa, it means an ingredient is served generously.
