Spain

Food and wine, recipes and cooking methods from Spain.

Wine in Spain

Wine in Spain is ancient history, as Spain is the second oldest wine producing country in Western Europe. It also has the largest vine area of any country in the world, but many of them are in very dry and low producing areas so the Spanish wine output comes only in third place.

Sangria

Sangría can be prepared with cheap wine and taste good, but in sangrías as in everything, quatily pays off. You can create an astounding drink just by using decent quality wine.

Lamb menestra

This type of menestra is a meal on its own. To serve as an appetizer, halve the meat or just skip it. You can also change the vegetables to suit your taste. Stewing meat and vegetables together keeps the food moist. The result is a succulent dish, perfectly cooked and not dry at all.

Easy menestra

This simple recipe can be adapted for speed cooking by using prepared or frozen vegetables. Good quality, fresh vegetables make this recipe really special, but frozen vegetables are better than no vegetables.
