Iconic dishes & drinks in Spain

Spanish cuisine refers to the traditional foods and culinary practices of Spain, a country situated in the Iberian Peninsula of southwestern Europe. It showcases a remarkable blend of Mediterranean ingredients, including olive oil, seafood, fresh produce, and an array of herbs and spices.

Paella

When you think of Spanish food, you without a doubt think, Paella! A dish encompassing all that Spanish food is about, Paella is a spiced rice dish of seafood, meat, punchy spices, and fresh lemon all made to be shared. Traditionally made with Calasparra rice (short-grain low-starch rice), Paella is named after the pan it is cooked in – a shallow, wide pan that cleverly allows for even heat distribution throughout cooking.

Tortilla

A popular vegetarian Spanish dish – Tortilla or ‘potato omelette’. Fluffy light-as-air egg encases soft chunks of potato. It’s so simple, but oh so delicious and a perfect cheap, quick meal to whip up for the whole family.
