Merluza al Horno con Patatas
Merluza al Horno con Patatas - Roasted Halibut on a bed of potatoes
This authentic Spanish seafood recipe calls for Merluza (hake), but because it isn’t easy to find, I substituted halibut. Other white-fleshed fish such as sea bass will also work. So will salmon: it isn’t particularly Spanish but it is incredibly good when prepared this way.
Escalivada
Escalivada - Grilled Vegetable Salad
Escalivada (or Escalibada) is from the Spanish word escalivar (to cook in ashes), which is how this Spanish recipe is traditionally prepared.
Espaguetis con Almejas
Espaguetis con Almejas - Spaghetti and Clams
This Spanish pasta recipe is best cooked in a skillet with a flavorful liquid that the pasta absorbs. Lightly toasted and full of marine flavors, the pasta is delicious and easy to make. Enjoy!
Albondigas en salsa
Albondigas en salsa - Saucy Meatballs
This Spanish recipe is a robust, saucy meatball dish served in small earthenware cazuelas. This dish is very popular at old Madrid tapas bars and tabernas. White wine is more commonly used for the sauce, but this recipe uses red for a more robust color and flavor. The sauce is also delicious served over rice or fried potatoes. Enjoy!
Huevos Rellenos de Atun
Huevos Rellenos de Atun - Tuna-Stuffed Eggs
Tuna-Stuffed Eggs make a perfect light supper for a hot night. Stuffed Eggs are popular tapas recipes in Spain. The eggs can be stuffed with jamon (ham), tuna, smoked salmon, anchovies, or sauteed mushrooms, and spiked with capers and shallots.
