Huevos de Pato Revueltos con SobrasadaScrambled Duck Eggs with Sobrasada - Duck eggs are richer than hen eggs with a lovely deep golden colour. In this simple recipe, they pair delightfully with Mallorcan Sobrasada sausage.
Patatas con CalamaresPotatoes with cuttlefish - Traditionally, this recipe from Andalucia uses cuttlefish (sepia or choco) and if you can obtain some, that is more authentic, but squid is fine.
Champiñones al AjilloGarlic mushrooms - They are, of course, ubiquitous, but what makes this simple dish Spanish is the dash of pimentón and the splash of sherry. You can, of course, add more garlic to taste. Pimientos de PadrónPimientos de Padrón or Padrón peppers come traditionally from Padrón in Galicia, in north-western Spain. These small green peppers are sometimes known as “Russian Roulette” peppers as the majority are quite mild, but occasionally one comes across a really spicy one. They are available from Spanish delicatessen and online suppliers and are now frequently found in greengrocers and supermarkets.
They make a great accompaniment and are particularly good with Huevos Rotos (Broken Eggs), but are most often served simply on their own – a quick and easy taste of Spain!
Garbanzos con EspinacasChickpeas with spinach and tomato - This inexpensive dish from Andalucia is simple to make, but packed with flavour. If you prefer, you can use dried chickpeas. Soak them overnight, change the water and cook them before adding to the dish, with a pinch of salt.
