Traditional Spanish recipes aren't usually difficult—but they do have their tricks. I encourage anyone who loves (or even likes) cooking to experiment with some of the authentic Spanish dishes below. It was hard to narrow down this list, but I chose the Spanish classics you'll be able to make time and time again. Once you're comfortable with them, ...
Tortilla de patatasis one of the most typical Spanish foods. It's one of those dishes you'll find people eating at all hours of the day (and night!) and something that people make at home and also order out. But for what's arguably the national dish, this Spanish omelet isn't very well known outside of the country. Here in Spain, the most common wa...
In Barcelona (and all of Catalonia) you'll always be asked if you want pan con tomate(bread with tomato) with your meal. Note—if you say yes, you'll be charged accordingly! But in most cases, it's totally worth it. At its simplest, pan con tomateis fresh bread rubbed with half of a tomato. But like most traditional Spanish recipes, it's a bit more ...
In Andalusia, they do things a bit differently when it comes to bread and tomato. Here, breakfast is all about the tostada: a piece of toasted bread covered with your choice of toppings. Popular choices include butter and homemade jam, local olive oil, tomato, paté, and ham. But here I'll focus on what I consider the perfect combination: crushed to...
Creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside—that's the sign of a perfect Spanish croquette. There are countless varieties of croquetas here in Spain, but the most traditional are creamy Iberian ham croquettes (croquetas de jamón ibérico). The rich flavor of the ham combines perfectly with the creamy béchamel sauce. The technique for any good cr...
The Spanish cure for just about anything (cold, flu, hangover...) is gazpacho. And with good reason. This veggie-packed cold soup (although it's more like a thin smoothie or juice) packs in the vitamins—and existed long before any modern health fad. I prefer my gazpachoserved ice-cold and in a glass. I love the traditional version (pepper, tomato, ...
I often tell the story about my first taste of salmorejo. I almost committed the mortal sin of heating up this delicious cold soup! Luckily I tasted it first, and since then I've been obsessed with this healthy and delicious Andalusian delicacy. My favorite way to eat salmorejo is topped with hard-boiled egg and cured jamón—it's the perfect combina...
This traditional Spanish dish is simplicity at its best. Perfectly fried potatoes are topped with Spanish fried eggs, which are then "broken" (rotos) and mixed with the potatoes. Here in Spain, we practically deep-fry our eggs by cooking them quickly in a pan filled with olive oil. When done correctly, the yolk is left runny and the whites are nice...
Possibly one of the easiest dishes on this list, chorizo a la sidrais simply delicious Spanish chorizo (paprika-spiced pork sausage) cooked in dry Spanish cider. Ideally, you should use fresh or semi-cured sausage and dry cider from Asturias or the Basque Country. Make It: Check out my chorizo a la sidra recipe—it couldn't be simpler.
One of my favorite desserts in Spain is crema catalana: the supposed predecessor to France's crème brûlée (though there are conflicting stories!). That said, not all crema catalana is created equal; the best versions are creamy and homemade, but others can be watery and bland. Crema catalana is often a bit more rustic than crème brûlée. It's not qu...
