    Spanish recipes

    Spanish food may be best known for paella and tapas but there's a lot more to try! Spanish recipes are all about using a few great ingredients for delicious results!

    Spain may be a relatively small country by global standards, but it has a wide variety of food. Coastal regions use more seafood while inland is more meat-based. There are stews like Catalan fish stew and fabada Asturiana, roasts and larger dishes like paella and fideuato enjoy with others as a main.

    Then there are tapas dishes that are perfect for bar-hopping, or put a few together to make a meal. I’d suggest starting with what are tapas and add some simple ideas like pan con tomate and Spanish garlic shrimp. Having lived in Spain a couple times, it will always be a favorite and that’s reflected in the number of dishes you’ll find here. Included within this are some Catalan regional dishes.
