Fresh Spanish Chorizo (Chorizo Fresco)
Ground pork, pimentón, and garlic, stuffed into casings and used fresh, no curing required. The from-scratch version of the chorizo fresco that shows up in Patatas a la Riojana and Croquetas de Cocido Madrileño.
Churros con Chocolate
Real Spanish churro dough is just flour, boiling water, and salt, no eggs, no butter, no sugar. Poured together, piped straight into hot oil, and fried until deep golden, then served with a thick Spanish hot chocolate for dipping.
Spanish Barra Bread (Pan de Barra)
Spain's everyday bakery loaf: a biga pre-ferment for real flavor, shaped short and thick, baked with steam for a crackling crust built to hold up under a bocadillo.
Spanish Ham Croquettes (Croquetas de Cocido Madrileño)
The classic next-day dish from Madrid's beloved chickpea stew. Leftover meats folded into a thick béchamel, breaded, and fried until golden.
Tortilla Española (Spanish Omelette)
The real tortilla española — confited onions, olive-oil-poached potatoes, and a custardy center that sets on its own time.
