EATING LIKE THE SPANISH
Bored of cooking every day the same meals, the same
recipes, and want to try something different and exotic?
You can choose any culture, any country you want and you
will find traditional food for each and every
one of them. But there is something different about the
way the Spanish cook, they just make food enjoying it and
this is what matters and offers such tasty results.
First of all you have to know Spanish people like to eat
a lot of eggs. But they never, or almost never, eat boiled
eggs like we do (cigar makers use to eat Fried eggs on rice for lunch).
The traditional egg preparation method is
to scramble them and fry them, obtaining a delicious omlette
with potatoes and lots of onions added in the frying pan. The
Spanish tortilla, as it is called is an exceptional and
nutritional way to feed your family for lunch.
Another wonderful dish is the paella. The paella means that
you will pretty much throw in the frying pan everything you have
in your fridge. Everything that goes with each other, of course.
The base for the paella is usually obtained out of boiled chicken
wings of legs and to it we will add vegetables,rice, fish, and several
other seafoods.
It is important that we fry everything together in olive oil for a better
taste. We can even add fruits in the pan and after everything is done,
just a minute before turning off the fire, we pour in the pan an assorted
natural juice or liqueur or wine, whatever we want as long as we think we
will like it. And the result will be an absolutely extraordinary dish made
to fit our every taste and desire. Paella is my favorite main meal dish.
Spanish deserts are often a dream, but they can be rather difficult to
prepare and they usually contain lots of calories. A few of the simple ones
are Natilla (Spanish Custard), Flan,Queen of Puddings,Key Lime Pie
(the Real one).
Spanish cooking in generally is for people that really have time to spend in
the kitchen and enjoy doing it. Most Spanish dishes take a log time to
complete and a regular Spanish meal can require up to 3 or even 4 dishes to
serve. Often they will serve Sangria with the main meal.
If you are willing to try but don't really have that much time on your hands
then you can just go to a Spanish restaurant near you and see for a change
how Spanish people eat. But if you experience weight problems you must be
careful on how much you eat, Spanish food can be addictive and it contains
many calories to give you lots of benefic energy.
If your choice is Paella call the Spanish restaurant in advance as this is
not a one person dish. You will find that Paella is a heart and soul warming
dish. Great time to take friends and family out. The Chef normally only
prepares it when it is ordered. No left overs.
