One of the most traditional Spanish dishes for breakfast is a tostada, basically a slice of toasted baguette bread. The Spanish usually eat their tostada with olive oil or grated tomato (and topped with Spanish ham if they’re fancy!). We made this at home almost everyday when we lived in Spain.
Pincho Moruno is one of the best Spanish recipes for a summer barbecue. It simply involves grilling small chunks of pork tenderloin spiced with paprika and cumin. Originating from Granada (where I lived!), this is a simple but delicious dish best made with fresh broad beans and mountain-cured Serrano ham.
Other areas favor brandy or sweep paprika, different types of hot peppers (or none) and fresh lemon juice. Espinacas con garbanzos are a traditional Spanish tapa hailing from Seville, and are popular during the chilly winter months. But the dish’s history goes far beyond Andalusia.
