Pulled Pork Tacos
Can you think of a better plan for a Friday night than the classic “sofa and movie?” I can: pair it with a great dinner!! What can I say, I have a very developed foodie streak, hehe. But you can't deny that pairing a good movie with a good dinner is a perfect plan! And if there's one dish that's sneaked into our favorites for these nights, it's pulled pork tacos.
Michirones (Stewed Broad Beans)
Michirones are a very traditional dish from southeastern Spain. Across the areas of Campo de Cartagena, the Huerta de Murcia, the Alicante Vega Baja, and Mazarrón, you can easily find this dish in any of their bars, taverns, or restaurants.
Chickpeas with Spinach
Here's a new version of chickpeas with spinach that you'll love. A healthy recipe that comes together in just a few minutes and appeals to everyone.
The chickpeas are paired with sun-dried tomatoes, which, besides an unmistakable flavor, give it a pleasant aroma and a beautiful color.
Mushroom and blue cheese empanadas
One of the great classics of our cuisine, and that of many other countries, is the empanadilla. Versatile to say the least, both in the dough—which can be made in many ways depending on the liquid and fat chosen—and in the filling, which admits countless variations and can be adapted to each person’s taste... or to whatever is in the fridge (it’s a great recipe for using leftovers).
Red Lentil Cream
We are in soup season and creamy soups that comfort the body and spirit. That's why we bring this succulent red lentil cream with a spiced character and ingredients that are reasonably Eastern.
Broken eggs with thyme potatoes and artichoke chips
Today I bring you a delicious dish, my updated version of the classic huevos rotos, which is ideal for getting back to everyday cooking after the holiday excesses, but in this case without guilt, since it’s baked in the oven without using the amount of oil that frying requires, and served in the same dish they are cooked in, the pepper-colored Revol porcelain plates that I’m crazy about.
Sweet cheese ravioli with honey
It's hard to find someone who doesn't like pasta, right? I'd say it's almost impossible, since there are countless varieties and it would be very rare not to find one that suits your tastes. The same goes for ravioli: this pasta can be filled with anything you can imagine, and there's even a sweet ravioli version.
Duck Confit Lasagna
If there's one dish that's loved at home, it's pasta. And this duck confit lasagna is a festive version we make very occasionally. We reserve it for special occasions, a celebration, a birthday, or even New Year's Day. The charm of this lasagna isn't just the more festive filling, but that you can say you made the pasta yourself. And that is undoubtedly always a plus.
Cream of mussels
Christmas is already just around the corner! And honestly, with the avalanche of meals and gatherings coming up, I love planning holiday menus in advance so I can get organized calmly. At home they've already unanimously decided that this mussel cream I'm sharing today deserves a place of honor on our table these days.
Salmon cake with orange mousseline and avocado mayonnaise
This salmon pie is very easy to prepare, and has all the flavor of homemade cooking. I suggest serving the pie with two sauces: an avocado mayonnaise and an orange mousseline, which is nothing more than a mayonnaise sauce mixed with mustard and orange.
Vegetable Tajine
I'm a total fan of the Le Creuset tajine. Even more so when you can make such great recipes with this vegetable tajine I'm bringing you today. This dish revives the soul and takes your breath away! Don't be put off by the number of spices I've used, because the combination is absolutely delicious and irresistible.
Single-serve eggplant lasagna with ricotta cream
I must say I'm crazy about lasagnas, in all their versions—meat, salmon and spinach, or vegetable... They all seem fantastic and delicious to me. I know each of us has a favorite dish from Italian cuisine and that at home we adapt it to our own way; this is the case with the lasagna I bring you today, a vegetable lasagna, a dish I craved all the time when I was pregnant, a simple-to-prepare yet delicious dish.
