Champiñones Al Ajillo (Garlic Mushroom Tapa)


Spanish cuisine is one of my favorites mainly for all its tapas and seafood dishes. And, what I like about Spain is that you don’t have to spend much to eat well. In fact, I studied in Spain during a summer season which seems a lifetime ago and while there I ate very well on a paltry student budget. I would have my main meal of the day as lunch where I would go to a neighborhood restaurant or cafes and order the "menú del día," a fixed price lunch option with a couple of choices of dishes that changed daily, all with drink and bread included. Then, at night I would share tapas with friends.

Gazpacho


If you've ever been to Spain in the summer I'm sure you are like me these days and are having dreams of swimming in luxurious pools of this light fragrant delicacy. Ok, so I'm not actually dreaming of swimming in Gazpacho but I certainly can't get it off my mind. This was one of my favorite things about the summer I spent in Spain many years ago. The simplicity of the dish is a bonus. If you don’t have homemade chicken stock and need a shortcut, try boiling 1 liter of water with 2 cubes of Halal chicken bouillon cubes. Vegetarian? Just substitute chicken for vegetable stock.
