Spanish
food recipes
Within these Spanish recipe pages, you will find
a multitude of recipes which refelect the true nature of Spanish
cooking. It is rich and varied, much like the country itself, and
always includes the finest of ingredients, the quality of which
are renowned
worldwide. Spains culinary history began with the Phoenicians, Greeks,
and Carthaginians settling the coastal areas. Later the Romans,
and more importantly the Moors brought with them elements of their
own cooking which lingered and blended into Spain's culinary heritage.
Imports from the New World included the tomato, potato, sweet potato,
vanilla, chocolate, many varieties of beans, courgette, and the
various peppers and chillis. There are olives in profusion and the
Spaniards are very fond of garlic, they love all types of sweet
and hot peppers and the beloved jamon serrano. The golden spice
saffron enhances many Spanish foods, paella in particular as well
as many other dishes including Asturian fabada, a wonderful mixture
of beans, chorizo, morcilla and salt pork . Much of the meat eaten
in Spain is derived from the pig, and not suprisingly so, as not
only can pigs be reared very cheaply (Spain was until recent years
very poor) but very little is wasted. As my grandmother used to
say "the only things in a pig you cant eat are its squeal and
the curl in its tail".
