Spain

Short of a spring break adventure to some place energetically foreign or exotically new, we can gain plenty of culinary inspiration through a virtual trip that's as close as our own kitchen!

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we travel to Spain to sample its cuisine.. Join us on our journey as we make a seafood paella, chicken flamenquines, and Catalan meatballs, albondigas. Buen apetito!

Ful bi Laham with Joe Geha 
Ful bi Laham is made up of ingredients that were in cultivation over 5000 years ago, and versions of this recipe are found in various Mediterranean cuisines from Ethiopia to Syria to ancient Rome. The dish's signature feature is its attention to contrasting tastes, textures, colors and even temperatures: creamy-centered fava beans simmered with cinnamon lamb, red peppers and bright green cilantro, all ladled sizzling onto steaming scoops of orange scented cracked wheat, then topped by an ice cold, lemony mint-yogurt sauce and eaten in scoops of warm flat bread.
