Submitted by Brian Holley

"The Moors' ruled the south of Spain in the past, when they were overthrown many of them leapt from the mountain tops in this area. The spot is known as SALTO DEL NEGRO, (black mans leap) it goes without saying that all managed to kill themselves. This recipe is from this part of Spain. Very simple to make with or without a Tajine."
