Torrijas with Honey

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.

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.

Mellow Rice of Iberian Pork Presa with Mushrooms and Broad Beans

We continue with a classic rice dish that is attractive and exquisite due to its combination of ingredients and flavours: the mellow rice with Iberian pork presa (piece from Iberian pork shoulder blade), mushrooms and vegetables. Among the vegetables, we have included some organic broad beans sown, cared for and harvested in our home garden. We start by stir-frying the vegetables: olive oil, fresh onion, green pepper, red pepper, garlic, all finely chopped. When they are tender, add the Iberian pork presa in strips and fry them as well. Next, add the mixed mushrooms together with the organic broad beans and stir with the meat and vegetables in the frying pan. Now it is time to add a teaspoon of La Vera paprika to give the dish its unique flavour. Stir-fry four or five spoonfuls of fried tomato. Add the round-grain rice and mix well to blend the flavours. Season as desired and finally pour in the meat stock. Let it boil for 15-20 minutes so that the rice becomes tender and soaks up
