Spanish Restaurants Meals at Home

What is the Ultimate Spanish Restaurant Meal at Home?

Spanish food is often recognized as one of the top cuisines in the world, and some traditional Spanish dishes and recipes date hundreds of years. Food has become as integral to Spain as its rich and tumultuous history, with each region of Spain – once a collection of numerous, distinct kingdoms – boasting their own unique cuisines and flavors.


Gazpacho Cold soup never tasted so good.

Peel 4 large tomatoes; cut into wedges and place in blender.
Add 1 c. roughly chopped red onion, 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, 1 c. vegetable stock, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp. salt.
Blend until smooth.
Stir in 1/2 c. diced tomato, 1/2 c. diced cucumber, 1/2 c. diced red pepper, and 1/2 c. diced red onion.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Croquetas Potatoes. Cheese. Ham. Um, yes? Can't go wrong with this dish.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, green onions, and garlic; cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Transfer contents of skillet to a large bowl. Stir in ham, Cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, green onions, and garlic; cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Albondigas Forget Swedish meatballs, Spanish meatballs are where it's at. Albondigas are a traditional tapas snack .

In a large pot, combine chicken broth, carrots, celery, tomatoes, cumin, oregano, and cilantro leaves. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a mild simmer for 10 minutes. Drop meatballs and potatoes in the soup and slightly boil so that meatballs cook quickly. Return to simmer and cook another 20 minutes.
Paella Loaded with fresh seafood, rice, spices, and vegetables, Spaniards know how to feed a crowd the right way.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, red pepper flakes, and rice. Cook, stirring, to coat rice with oil, about 3 minutes. Stir in saffron threads, bay leaf, parsley, chicken stock, and lemon zest.
Crema Catalana The supposed predecessor to France’s Creme Brulee (though there are conflicting stories here!) Crema Catalana is often a bit more rustic than a Creme Brulee– not quite as creamy and in traditional restaurants, the homemade versions can be almost scrambled. The burnt sugar on the top is also often more burnt than its French cousin’s — but I love it anyway!

Bring the milk, cream, vanilla, orange rind and cinnamon (if using) to a boil over low heat. Remove from the heat and let it cool down.
Classic Spanish Sangria And homemade red and white sangria to wash it all down.

1 cup strawberries.
1 cup raspberries.
¾ cup simple syrup.
2 bottles (750-ml) red wine (Tempranillo or Tempranillo/Cab blend recommended)
1 cup Cachaça.
¼ cup Cream Sherry.
¼ cup lime juice.
¼ cup lemon juice.

Breweries Offer Up a Variety of Tastes

Image
Beer drinkers enjoy more variety in their beer options today than at any point in history and Sacramento Breweries are providing plenty of options. The Beer Judge Certification Program recognizes over a hundred distinct styles, many of them mere umbrellas for a wide range of profiles, but increasingly American brewers are treating these style descriptions as quaint suggestions rather than lines they must color within. We recently enjoyed a 7.1% ABV “Imperial Gose” brewed with watermelon, black sesame seeds, black Hawaiian sea salt, Persian lime, and coriander. Go ahead and decide which classic style group that one should fit in. We’ll wait. While innovation and experimentation have yielded some phenomenal and hard-to-categorize beers, both professional and home brewers should know the rules they’re breaking before they break them. Let’s take a few moments to familiarize ourselves with the most common classic ale styles that have defined modern American craft brewing over the years

How About a Nice, Juicy Steak

Who doesn't love the taste of a tender steak fresh off the grill? A great-tasting steak begins with a good cut of meat. Use this guide to get the meaty details you need! Whether you're barbecuing at home or ordering at a great steakhouse restaurant , here' what you need to know. PORTERHOUSE This is the classic steak house steak that features both a strip steak and filet mignon, separated by a bone. T-BONE A T-bone is just like a porterhouse except the piece of filet mignon is not as big, because this steak is cut a little farther forward on the animal. FLAT IRON The flat iron is nestled into a tender area of the shoulder, so it's an exception to the rule that shoulder steaks are always tough. Plus it's cheap. FILET MIGNON Pricey and velvety soft, filet mignons make a nice splurge for special guests, though it's really the tenderness you are buying.

Pretend like you're at one of Sacramento's Mexican Restaurants ... Margarita A margarita is a cocktail consisting of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice often served with salt on the rim of the glass. The drink is served shaken with ice, blended with ice, or without ice. Main alcohol: Tequila Ingredients: 2 oz Tequila, 1 oz Lime juice, 1 oz Cointreau Preparation: Rub the rim of the glass with the lime slice to make the salt stick to it. Shake the other ingredients with ice, then carefully pour into the glass (taking care not to dislodge any salt). Garnish and serve over ice. Served: On the rocks; poured over ice Guacamole & Chips When you've made delicious homemade guac, here’s how to keep guacamole green: Place your leftover guacamole in a storage container and pat it down with a spoon so it’s nice and flat on top.
