Dividí

Dividí is a culinary term often used in some Spanish-speaking regions to refer to a specific preparation of fish or meat. It generally describes a dish where the primary ingredient, typically fish fillets or thin slices of meat, is lightly floured and then fried until golden brown and crispy. The term "dividí" itself can be interpreted as "divided" or "separated," possibly alluding to the way the pieces of food are prepared individually before frying.

The exact ingredients and preparation methods for dividí can vary significantly depending on the region and family traditions. Common accompaniments might include simple sides like rice, salad, or fried potatoes. The fish used is often a white fish, such as cod or hake, while meat versions might feature thinly sliced beef or pork. The flour coating is usually seasoned with salt and pepper, and sometimes other spices are added for extra flavor. The frying process is typically done in hot oil, ensuring a quick cooking time and a satisfying crunch. Dividí is generally considered a home-style dish, appreciated for its simplicity and familiar taste.
