We, like most people, usually only eat turkey at Christmas. This is silly as it’s a really tasty meat (much superior to chicken in our opinion) and is also really cheap. We picked some turkey legs up in a supermarket for just a few euros. You need to soak the fruit for 12 hours before [...]

We have loved every recipe we have tried from Rick Stein’s Spain. This is a really nice rice dish from Valencia which we’ll definitely be doing again. It tastes similar to paella but requires fewer ingredients. Delicious and easy! Arroz de rape, azafrán y pimientos – to serve 6 4 tbsp olive oil 75g finely [...]

Perfect as the nights close in and the seasons change. This is our second recipe from Rick Stein’s Spain and another success. It takes two days to make but is so straightforward that it’s not a chore at all. As we had torrential rain in Dublin on Saturday and Sunday we could not have picked [...]
Rick Stein’s Spain: Beef in White Wine
Posted in Beef, Food, Spanish, tagged Beef, Cooking, Food, Recipe, Rick Stein, Spanish, Stew on 14 September 2011 | 1 Comment »
This is the first recipe we’ve tried from Rick Stein’s Spain. Unusually made with white wine, this beef stew is a bit lighter but still rich and full-flavoured. Leftovers are particularly good the next day too. It takes a while to cook but is really easy and there are very few ingredients needed. Rick says [...]
Multi-vegetable paella

Another recipe from our favourite veggie cookbook, Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi. This is easy-peasy with fantastic results. A long list of ingredients but you may have some of the spices in the cupboard already and the vegetables are all in season so you should be able to pick them up for relatively cheap. We thought [...]
Spanish chickpea, chorizo & spinach stew

Yes we do know that it’s June but our weather has been much more suitable for stew than salad in the last few weeks – it’s freezing! If we weren’t so stingy we’d turn the heating back on. As central heating in June is against our principles we’ve had to resort to stew instead. It’s [...]
