Spanish Chicken Bake

by richard on 12/03/202006/04/2020 in Family Favourites, Mains, Recipes, Spanish

This Spanish-style chicken bake adapted from one by The Hairy Bikers is a one-pot wonder that’s made with juicy chorizo, chicken and veg – perfect for a midweek supper or a weekend alternative to a weekend roast. Because everything cooks together, this really allows the flavours to come together nicely.

Chilli con carne with rice

Chilli con Carne

by richard on 01/03/202006/04/2020 in Mains, Recipes, Spanish

Chilli con Carne was introduced to America by the “Chili Queens,” women who served food in San Antonio’s Military Plaza as early as the 1860s. Chilli stands were also common in Galveston and Houston; they were the taco trucks of the 1800s. Tamales with chilli was the most common order—beans were often added.

hake bake

Baked Hake Spanish Style

by richard on 01/03/202006/04/2020 in Fish, Mains, Recipes, Spanish

A fabulous recipe for low-fat oven-baked fish and chips that uses one pan! This will prove to be a family favourite at the supper table and uses the whole hake in place of cod or haddock fillets, which is a more sustainable fish to use. Children will love its mild taste too.
