Spanish/11 recipes

This slaw is a great side dish with burgers, pulled pork, BBQ, or any succulent meaty dishes. Loved the dilled pickles in the slaw and the pickled juice in the dressing, which really accomplish the flavor. It's refreshing, and also very low in calories and fat.

Sweet Gherkin Pickles recipe

These roasted almonds are tasty and crunchy, all the seasonings and brown sugar add the amazing flavor to the almonds. Good snack or when you have guests to come, it will satisfy everyone.

This recipe comes from Italy by way of Argentina. Maxwell Mowry of Charleston got this recipe when he lived in Buenos Aires in the early l970s. Since there are more people of Italian ancestry in Argentina than of Spanish ancestry, it is not surprising to find panettone there, where it is called in Spanish pan dulce, meaning 'sweet bread.' At Christmas in Argentina, pan dulce is eaten accompanied by sparkling apple cider. Houseware shops in Argentina sell special tall cylindrical springform pans to bake the pan dulce, but an empty, greased 1-pound coffee can may be used.

Learn how to make Tortilla Espanola, a Spanish Omelet. In Spain, a tortilla isn't the cornmeal flatbread we think of but a sort of omelet loaded with onions and potatoes. This is a popular item at tapas bars and an easy dinner to make after an evening of celebrating.

A traditional Portuguese recipe. Salt cod (bacalhau) and potatoes fried to perfection. FANTASTIC!

This decadent brownie recipe was recently clipped from my local newspaper.

This is not your classic bundt cake that's packed with not-so-good-for-you ingredients. The cake is made with 100% whole wheat flour, grapeseed oil, Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, and fresh raspberries. The ganache doesn't have any butter or cream, it contains cocoa powder, honey, grapeseed oil and Greek yogurt. Super chocolaty, fudgy, moist and packed with goodness.

A delicious and succulent dish that will have you and your friends licking your lips and fingers!

Yum! I added some sliced red bell pepper strips to give the dish more colour. Used fresh broccoli instead of mixed frozen veggies, and added a drizzle of sesame oil and rice vinegar in the end as well as some sesame seeds. Enjoyed the dish with a bowl of rice, so good!

Spanish spiced chicken breast with fresh avocado, orange dressed boston lettuce.
