  CRESPILLOS DE BARBASTRO ¶ Borage Fritters of Barbastro
  Crespillos are fritters based on borage leaves. This version comes from the old Celtiberian town of Barbastro in Aragón. The origin of the crespillo lies in the traditional rural practice of using the best leaves of the borage, chard or spinach for a main course and using the normally discarded parts for a sweet dessert.
