Literally Moors and Christians, this [[Spanish]] dish recalls the period when much of Spain was ruled by the Moors and the Spanish attempts to re-gain their territory. This conflict lasted more than 700 years and culminated in the capture of Granada by the 'Catholic Kings', Isabella and Fernando in 1492.

Moors and Christians festivals are still celebrated each year throughout Spain, but the most famous is that in Alcoy (Alicante).

===Variations===
This traditional [[Spanish]] dish can vary in many ways depending on the region and the chef. The [[Chorizo|chorizo]] can be substituted for [[Pork|pork]] chops, but if the [[Stew|stew]] becomes more fatty, add more [[Paprika|paprika]] and water. You can also add other [[Meats|meats]] such as [[Morcilla|morcilla]] or [[serrano ham]].
There is also a Cuban (vegetarian) version called [[Platillo Moros y Cristianos]].
===Chef's notes===
Do cook the [[Chorizo|chorizo]] whole and slice at the end. This will prevent the [[Sausage|sausage]] from disintegrating, but allow it to cook thoroughly.
