Spanish chorizo and potatoes stew

This stew is rich in flavor and is the perfect comfort food, warming and perfect for any winter day. La Rioja, where the famous Spanish wine comes from, is an incredibly fertile area where some of the best fruit and vegetables in the Iberian Peninsula are grown (and that is a big statement).

Braised oxtail in red wine | Rabo de toro estofado

I love the less loved cuts of any animal – you need to treat them skilfully to get the best out of them. I often find that the result is so satisfying that I keep coming back to it and this oxtail stew is no exception. It’s not a recipe that was handed down by my Mum, but is actually something I have worked out and developed myself through investigation and real passion.

The difference will make you proud and your chicken paellas will taste better than ever.

Paella de salchicha, cebolla roja y champiñones | Sausage, red onion and mushroom paella

There is flavours that quite simply belong together, and these three are a great example of one of those matches. The beauty of paellas compared with other internationally famous rice dishes such as biryani, risotto… is that it accepts every ingredient you can think of. In Valencia they say there is a paella for each day of the year, I think that sums it all up quite nicely.

Pollo al ajillo | Chicken Garlic

As you probably know by now, in Spain we love our garlic. We love a good chicken too – perhaps this is why this is one of the most popular dishes on any tapas bar menu. It’s also very popular done with rabbit – if rabbit is available, I recommend you give it a try.
