Spanish-style meatballs

This was my first recipe based on Cookish, from Milk Street, which is a book of ideas for quick meals suitable for weekdays.  This turned out well, although Carol thought it may be a little too salty, so I may cut that back next time.  (The recipe calls for kosher salt.  I used Krogers, which Read More …

Trucha a la Navarra (Marinated Pan-Fried Trout with Ham)

This is a dish from the Basque country of northern Spain (the former kingdom of Navarre).  It would be most commonly made with jamon serrano or prosciutto, but I made it with cottage bacon.  Two trout will serve 2-4 people depending on their appetite and the size of the trout.  This is an adaptation of Read More …

This is a favorite way of cooking spinach, which we have served many times over the years.  The original recipe came from Efrain Martinez’s book, Classic Spanish Cooking with Chef Ef, which features a number of regional specialties, such as this dish from Catalonia.

Tarta de Santiago (Galician Almond Cake) – Dehydrated Camping Version

  This is an adaptation of the recipe for Tarta de Santiago (Galician Almond Cake) for backpacking or canoeing.  The key adaptation is using powdered eggs (I used Hoosier Hill Farm – available on Amazon) rather than fresh eggs.  Otherwise, all the ingredients are dry in the base case, so this cake is very suitable Read More …

Galician Empanada with Tuna, Onion, and Pepper Filling

Carol and I were recently in Galicia walking the Camino de Santiago.  In Galicia, empanadas were commonly available at both restaurants and bakeries, and tuna is by far the most common filling.  (If the filling is not specifically identified, you can be confident that it is tuna.) This version is a large empanada to be Read More …
