Spanish Doughnuts WITH Chocolate | Churros Con Chocolate

This is not a recipe for the faint-hearted as it involves frying in very hot oil. In Spain you would find a ‘churrería’ in every town, where these hot, crisp, doughnut sticks are served with rich hot chocolate. Churros is one of those recipes that could go either way but stick to the recipe and follow my advice and you will be fine. I have made thousands of these – trust me!

Sangria Made With Spanish Sparkling Wine | Sangria de Cava

Cava is made in the same way as champagne. Not many sparkling wines use the same method and, to me, champagne and cava definitely have the edge over prosecco or other sparkling wines. Cava has always been a celebration drink in Spain, but with prices being so affordable these days I thought I could make a sangria with it. The result is so refreshing, fruity and sharp.

Meat Focaccia | Coca de Requena

Across Spain we combine a variety of leavened breads, rolls and flatbreads with other ingredients. This version reminds me of a British ‘toad in the hole’, but made with a focaccia-like bread instead of batter. All the rendered fats from the meats are absorbed into the bread, resulting in a very indulgent experience.

Salt Cod Fritters | Buñuelos de Bacalao

Traditional buñuelos used to be sweet and were commonly sold in bakeries at Easter time. With time, more developed recipes have arisen to bring us buñuelos made with savoury ingredients, such as cod (bacalao), cheese or even chard. These salt cod and cheese versions – both pictured here – are totally different; I urge you to try them both as they are seriously good.
