Orange Glazed Salmon

Image
This is an exquisite fish dish originally from Mediterranean cuisine. It is a fusion of sweet and citrus flavours that results in a delightful dish.  It is essential to have good quality fresh salmon. Remove all the bones from the salmon loin and cut it into three slices. We use the juice of three high quality oranges . Once the boneless pieces of salmon have been cut, place them in a frying pan without oil, first with the skin side in contact with the pan. Add a little salt to the salmon pieces. When the salmon changes colour, turn it over so that the skinless side is toasted. Now add the orange juice, a little dill and leave to cook until the juice is reduced.  Remove the salmon pieces and serve with the orange and dill sauce.  Enjoy the result.

Atún encebollado (Tuna with Onions)

Andalusian recipe par excellence. It requires high-quality tuna.  Cut the tuna into bite-sized pieces. Cut the onion and garlic into very thin slices.   Now put olive oil in a pot and cook over medium heat and fry the onion and garlic together with a bay leaf. Add oregano, salt and paprika. Stir so that the paprika does not overheat and add a little vinegar and fish stock. Cook over a medium heat until the onion is poached. Add the salted tuna. Cover the stew and leave to cook for a few minutes.   All that remains is to enjoy this delicacy with its sauce. Tuna with Onions

Caldereta de Cordero (Lamb Stew with Potatoes)

A traditional Spanish dish that is slow to prepare and will delight diners. Start by adding some olive oil to a saucepan and sear the pieces of lamb until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Next, chop two cloves of garlic, half an onion, a green pepper and a red pepper and fry in the same pan as the meat. Add two bay leaves. When the vegetables are cooked, add a teaspoon of paprika and mix well, taking care that it does not burn. Pour in a glass of white wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate. Add the lamb meat and three spoonfuls of fried tomato. Then, mix everything together and add the meat stock. Cook until the meat is tender. To finish the dish, cut the potatoes into thin slices and fry them in olive oil. When they are done, add them to the meat dish as a garnish. The sauce is very suitable for dipping bread.

Papas con Choco (Potatoes with Cuttlefish)

A main course that is typical of the south of Spain. First of all, we will make the sofrito by putting three cloves of sliced garlic, diced onion and diced red peppers in hot olive oil.  Next, add a spoonful of paprika to toast a little and immediately add diced tomato to fry with the rest of the vegetables.  Cut the choco into pieces, add it to the vegetables and mix well. Add two bay leaves, salt and thyme, mix and add fish stock to cover. Now add cumin and food colouring and mix everything together. When the cuttlefish is tender, add the potatos after being peeled, washed and cut in cubes. Leave to cook until the potatoes are tender. Eat, dipping bread in the sauce. Papas con Choco

A delicious starter or main course that requires, above all, high quality beef. Start by cutting the beef tenderloin with a knife into small pieces. Set aside. Cut the onion into small cubes. Cut capers and gherkins. Set aside. Continue by making the mayonnaise. Put olive oil, old mustard and the yolk of an egg in a bowl. Emulsify well until you obtain the texture of mayonnaise.

The time and the moment call for it. Breakfast, snack, dessert or whenever you like, torrija is a springtime classic. There are different ways of making this sweet treat. We have chosen the most Andalusian recipe: with honey. We soak the special torrijas bread in white wine, cinnamon and some lemon peel. Then we dip the bread in beaten egg and fry it in olive oil. Place the fried bread on absorbent paper. Meanwhile, heat the honey and boil it with the wine, cinnamon and lemon mixture.  Place the bread in a bowl and dip the pieces in the honey mixture.  Enjoy the special, spring-like texture and sweetness.
