Looking for Good Spanish Recipes...

[Jayne]

I have a show for a girl that is married into a spanish family and they only eat spanish food--no american food. Does anyone have any good ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

You probably know this already, but you can get the Una Muestra recipes off consultant's corner in english. The orange flan recipe looks particularly interesting to me, but there are tons more. Buena suerte!

Spanish Spanish or Latin spanish? Spanish from Spain or Spanish-esque from Mexico, Cuba, etc? The cuisine varies a great deal. Did she get more specific with you?

I guess I will have to get more info. I was assuming Mexico.

I live in New Mexico, and we love Mexican Food (although New Mexican is slightly different in that we use LOTS of green chile on everything. And red.

Anyways, something folks love at shows is homemade salsa, and I sell a lot of choppers this way. You can use any salsa recipe, if her family has one they love, but here is what I do!

I use my knives and cooks corer to slice Jalapeno's open and take the seeds out (I usually use 3-5, but it depends on your hotness you like. of course, you can use the hotter or milder peppers from the store as well, but Jalapeno's are probably the most common in everyone's produce sections)

I use my food chopper to dice a small onion and the jalapeno into very small bits.
I use my kitchen shears to chop up some cilantro (maybe a few tablespoons)

I use our PC canopener to open a can of diced tomatos.

Here's the part people love- I dump the tomatoes into the classic batter bowl, then put the cilantro, onion, and jalapeno's (all chopped finely now) on top. The food chopper fits perfectly into the batter bowl- I stick it into the goodies, and chop to make smaller tomato bits and mix everything together!

My guests love it cuz they don't have to use a food processor, and you only use one bowl, and it takes about 5 minutes at the most!

Serve it with some guacamole if you want, in the simple additions with the small bowl caddy. And lots of chips!

Una Muestra is supposed to include recipes from many different sub groups within Hispanic, so there should be at least one or two that are uniquely Spanish. Not being of Latin descent myself (I'm Polish-American), I can't speak with a lot of authority.

If all else fails, ask the host for a favorite recipe and show how to do it with our tools.
