Rice with beans and turnips Food and drink · Simat de la Valldigna, La Safor, Valencia Image of Simat de la Valldigna, not of the place itself. Winter stew of the valley: white beans, turnips, cardoon, blood sausage and pig's cheek cooked at length before the rice is added, which is served brothy. It is associated with the domestic pig slaughter and with the months of the orange harvest, when the work called for a spoon dish.
