Football season may now be over and the Spanish celebrations are only just beginning to die down. But in the kitchen, things are beginning to liven up with traditional Spanish food.
Spanish food is reflects the geography, culture and climate in particular the sea. So we have pulled together some of our favourite Spanish dishes so that you might share and live outdoors.
Starters
Hairy Bikers Cazuelas Blue
Spanish starters are practically a meal on there own. Tapas comes in all shapes and sizes, from calamari to fried artichokes, marinated mushrooms or chick pea salad.
Here is our top tapas choices from the Good Food website.
Remember the On the Table motto, “Presentation is everything”.
Why not use the Hairy Bikers Cazuelas Blue tapas dish.
Paella
Paella
Paella
Now I love paella. This recipe has all the ingredients that really makes my taste buds tingle. The recipe, care of Mr Worrall Thompson can be found on the BBC website.
Olive Oil features heavily in Spanish cooking. Fairmont & Main Script Oil Pourer.
Spanish national drink
Typically, Spain is a wine drinking country, with different areas (67 in total) producing its own type wine. The most widely known areas are Rioja, Toro or Alicante. So if you are looking to enjoy a really nice Spanish red with your meal, why not try the Leonardo Ciao wine glasses £38 for a pack of 6.
LSA Water Glasses
I also love these LSA water glasses. These elegant stemmed water glasses hold 400ml and are also perfect for serving juices or even a large glass of red wine.
Or perhaps you would just prefer a cold glass of San Migel. Try these continental looking bar lager glasses from LSA.
These box set of 4 handmade lager glasses cost £33.75, which is cheaper than John Lewis.
