On a nice day there is nothing like an outdoor lunch. At Mercado, I tried a fusion experiment, the kind that Peruvian food is all about: Again, this is vegetarian well, pescatarian food, but gluten-free and loaded with nutrients.

Look for 'waxy' fat: The humble Spanish omelet can be made with chorizo, peppers and onions, among other ingredients, but purists will tell you it should only contain potatoes and eggs. The potatoes are diced and lightly fried before being added to the egg mixture and fried on a high heat; the trickiest part is when you have to flip the pan over to turn the tortilla.
Any self-respecting tapas bar. Churros are a popular snack made from fried dough pastry, cut into sausage shapes and doused in sugar. They're a favorite at fiestas, or street parties, when they're sold by roadside vendors. Dipping them in hot melted chocolate is pretty much the law. Another typical item on a tapas menu, croquetas are tubes of bechamel sauce encased in fried breadcrumbs, but a lot more tasty than that sounds.
They're tricky to make and are perhaps best enjoyed at a tapas bar, along with a cold beer. A classic tapas item, albondigas, or meatballs in tomato sauce, are served all over Spain. A tasty variation serves up the meatballs drizzled in an almond sauce, minus the tomatoes.

A legendary dish spoken of in almost hushed tones by Spaniards, migas is a good example of how much of Spain's cuisine has evolved from peasant food. It's essentially dry breadcrumbs torn up and fried in a variety of combinations -- often served with chorizo or bacon. Migas, handed down from agricultural laborers who had to be thrifty with their ingredients, is comfort food supreme -- and in recent times has found its way onto fancy restaurant menus.
A prized dish in Spain, bacalao, or salted cod, was brought back by Spanish fisherman from as far afield as Norway and Newfoundland -- the fish not being found in local waters; it was salted to preserve it on the journey. It has to be left to soak in water for at least 24 hours to remove all but the slightest tang of salt.

Bacalao is served in all manner of dishes; one of the most popular is with pil-pil sauce, made of olive oil garlic and the juice of the fish, and typical in the Basque Country. A favorite of the northwestern Asturias region and based around the white fabe bean, fabada is a one-pot feast usually served with a mixture of pork meats.
Here in Spain we practically deep fry our eggs, by cooking them quickly in a pan filled with olive oil.
When done correctly, the yolk is left runny and the whites are nice and crispy. There are all sorts of variations on huevos rotos — with ham, chorizo, blood sausage, vegetables… the list goes on! This huevos rotos recipe is easy to make, and always satisfying! Possibly one of the easiest dishes on the list, chorizo a la sidra is simply delicious Spanish chorizo paprika spiced pork sausage cooked in dry Spanish cider. Ideally, you buy fresh or semi cured sausage for this dish and use Asturian or Basque dry cider.
Crema Catalana is often a bit more rustic than a Creme Brulee— not quite as creamy and in traditional restaurants, the homemade versions can be almost scrambled.

Try my trusty crema Catalana recipe here. Flan is one of the most typical Spanish desserts, but like Crema Catalana, it can be really delicious or really terrible. But good, homemade flan is well worth the calories. Creamy, eggy, and with just a touch of caramelized sugar syrup on top, there are countless variations of Spanish flan recipes you can find.

Here is one of my favorites below! Canary Island flan recipe. One typical Spanish food that almost always disappoints in my experience is the humble empanada. Nonetheless, delicious Spanish empanadas do exist— especially when homemade. Try my Spanish empanada recipe here! These are thick chunks of eggplant, dusted in seasoned flour and deep fried in olive oil. I share my berenjenas con miel recipe here! Often a fried egg is served on top for a more hearty meal. I could eat pisto every night!
Try my version of traditional Spanish pisto con huevo. Thin, crispy and slightly salty— these are churros I can eat a whole order of by myself! Homemade churros are delicious, but a messy affair. I love making homemade sangria with good ingredients and good quality Spanish wine. I try to buy the sweetest fruit available to avoid adding much sugar. I also love variations on sangria made using cava or white wine!
My classic Spanish sangria recipe is great, or try my cava sangria.

One of the star dishes on our tapas tours in Madrid is the delicious gambas al ajillo at La Casa del Abuelo. At La Casa del Abuelo they cook in individual clay dishes atop a roaring flame— recommend if possible! Here is my version of gambas al ajillo recipe. Torrijas come in many formats but always start with a big piece of bread. The bread is covered in egg and fried in olive oil- and soaked in either honey, simple syrup with brandy or wine, or milk. I love the honey soaked variety.
