Gilda
We’ve never had these before, but now we crave them and order them at every tapas spot that has them. They are so easy to make at home too! Gildas are considered pinxtos or part of the skewered bite category. Stick with anchovies, pickled peppers, manzanilla olives, or confit garlic.
Huevos Rotos
Traditionally, huevos rotos is a delicious pile of French fries with chorizo and fried eggs. The book offers recipes for a variety of rotos made with a ramp salsa, marinated carrots and more. It’s a new favorite bar food for us.
Revueltos
Clearly Spanish cuisine has made eggs quite glamorous. Revueltos is a dish of scrambled eggs with shrimp, peas or mushrooms folded in. It’s quite glamorous and buttery and finishes with crème fraîche and served with crusty bread.
The Basque Dog
This is not your usual hot dog. Find a chistorra or chorizo Spanish sausage and serve it with potato rolls, aioli, and a special homemade piquillo mostarda.
Salpicón
This seafood salad served with a tomato-clam vinaigrette is about to become a summer favorite. It’s a cool dish loaded with seafood, garlic, white wine, and tomatoes. We love it.
Sweet Migas
This simple dessert uses leftover baguettes, heavy cream and fresh strawberries for a fun, Spanish take on shortcake.
