Home cooking since 1929 in Plaza del Campillo, Trujillo: migas, desert truffles, caldereta and charcoal-grilled Iberian meats.

The Hostal-Restaurante Emilia opened in 1929 in Plaza del Campillo, the lower part of Trujillo, and is still a family house. The cooking presents itself as grandmother's: recipes passed down from generation to generation, made mostly with local produce bought in the town's shops. Downstairs there is a bar with stone walls; upstairs, the rooms of the Hostal Emilia.
Desert truffles and other seasonal dishes
What most sets the menu apart are the criadillas de tierra, the desert truffle, the underground fungus that appears in Extremaduran fields: here they come scrambled, to start, and stewed, among the soups. Also seasonal are the tomato gazpacho and the egg gazpacho, which the menu marks as such.
To whet the appetite there are Extremaduran migas, sautéed golden thistles, wild asparagus scramble, artichoke hearts, hand-carved grain-fed Iberian ham, a selection of Extremaduran cheeses and torta de la Serena. The croquettes, of prawn, ham or chicken, come in portions of ten. Among the soups and spoon dishes are the salmorejo, the consommé, the picatostes soup and white beans with Iberian chorizo and pig's ears.
The charcoal grill, from the secreto to the aged beef
The meats come off the charcoal: moraga of pork sirloin, Iberian secreto and presa, lamb chops, beef entrecôte of 350 or 500 grams, beef sirloin and an aged beef entrecôte of 450 grams. The lamb caldereta is in the same section. For fish there are Roman-style squid, grilled baby squid, garlic prawns, sea bass cooked butterflied and charcoal-grilled octopus, in a 250-gram portion.
For dessert, egg flan, cooked cream, tocinillo de cielo (a sweet egg-yolk custard), lemon mousse, baked cheesecake and chocolate cake with raspberry jam. The tocinillo, the mousse and the cheesecake are marked gluten-free.
A cellar with Trujillo wine
On the wine list there are whites from Rueda and reds from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, but the closest to home is the Ribera del Guadiana part: among them is Habla del Silencio, from Bodegas HABLA, whose winery is on the outskirts of the city and can be visited.

Plaza del Campillo is at the entrance to Trujillo from the road, near the bus station: you arrive without going into the streets of the old town, and from here you walk up to the Plaza Mayor in a few minutes. It is a good base if you come to watch birds: the hostal belongs to the Extremadura Birding Club and the kestrel walk starts in the Plaza Mayor.

Qué pedir: Extremaduran migas or scrambled desert truffles to start, and Iberian presa or lamb caldereta; for dessert, tocinillo de cielo
