20 Delicious Spanish Recipes For the Ultimate Fiesta

I’m not going to lie–until recently I couldn’t name more than a few proper Spanish dishes (“beans and rice” didn’t count).

Or even what foods and flavors most defined the cuisine, for that matter.

Well, I now know that I’ve been missing out. Because Spanish recipes can be amazing…and this article is the result of my gustatory discoveries.

And if you’re not sure where to start…make the rice pudding or yellow rice and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Enjoy!

Healthy Spanish Paella

Spanish paella recipe Picture courtesy of Ciao Florentina

Paella is similar to a stir fry when you consider that all the ingredients get cooked together in a big pan. But unlike stir fry, it cooks at a low heat for a longer time, so this isn’t the kind of dinner to decide on when you’re already hungry.

With lobster, mussels, clams, shrimp, and sausage, this paella makes a hearty and decadent dinner to gather the family around the Sunday table.

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 cups forbidden white rice (or calasparra paella rice)

1 Spanish onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, grated or minced

2 links chicken andouille sausage, cut

1 lb. large shrimp

2 lobster tails (about 6 oz. each), cut in half lengthwise

1/2 lb. black mussels

1/2 lb. Manilla clams

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. smoked paprika

1 tsp. red pepper flakes

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Pinch of saffron

3 cups vegetable stock (or shrimp stock)

1/2 cups green peas

1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

1 lemon, cut into wedges

3/4 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup green olives (optional)

Creamy Spinach Lentils

Spanish soup recipe Picture courtesy of Pinch of Yum

Lentils are a common dish in Spanish home cooking, and this dish – a version of lentejas caseras – is a household staple. It’s no wonder because it’s a cheap, filling, and nutrient-dense meal.

Have a small serving for an appetizer before your main meal, or serve this alone as an awesome vegetarian entrée.

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter

1/2 yellow onion, diced

2 carrots, peeled and chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1/2 cup dry white wine

2 cups uncooked lentils, rinsed

2 medium Yukon potatoes (about 1 cup), chopped

4 cups chicken broth

Spanish Stuffed Peppers

Spanish stuffed peppers recipe Picture courtesy of Ancient Harvest

Stuffed peppers have popped up on menus in restaurants and on home dinner tables over recent years. But the idea actually originates in the Basque region of Spain.

They can traditionally be stuffed with beef and manchego, or even cod in creamy béchamel. But this is an updated veggie version with not only kale, beans, zucchini, and tomatoes but also raisins and quinoa.

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 bell peppers, halved lengthwise

1 package (4.8 oz.) Spanish-style quinoa

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

2 cups water

1 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 zucchini, chopped

1 cup chopped kale leaves, ribs and stems removed

1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes

1/2 cup raisins

Light Arroz Con Leche (Spanish Rice Pudding)

Rice pudding is a popular dessert all over the world, and that’s certainly true in Spain too.

While it’s often made with heavy cream or condensed milk, you can lighten it up without sacrificing flavor. And if you want to reduce the sugar, only add a couple tablespoons to the pudding as it cooks, and then stir in honey to taste.

This dessert can be enjoyed warm or cold.

Serves 6

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry long-grain white rice

2 cups hot water

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cinnamon stick

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

4 cups skim milk

Traditional Spanish Sangria

Nothing goes with a delicious Spanish meal quite like sangria. When the basic concept is adapted, there are countless ways to make it depending on whether you start with red or white wine, or choose to add liquor to the mix.

However, if you want to keep it traditional, start with a simple red table wine, and don’t include any tropical fruit. A cinnamon stick is all you need to bring all the flavors together.

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 bottles red wine

2 oranges

1 lemon

1 cinnamon stick

Spanish Tortilla (Spanish Omelette)

Spanish tortilla recipe Picture courtesy of Mark O’Meara

What’s called a tortilla in Latin America doesn’t actually resemble the original Spanish dish at all. That’s because corn, which is ground up and used for Mexican tortillas, is a New World food. The traditional Spanish tortilla is more like an omelette, but you don’t have to worry about flipping it.

If you want to reduce the fat in this recipe, originally from Jaques Pepin: Heart & Soul of the Kitchen, spray olive oil onto the pan to use a lot less.

Flan de Queso

Spanish flan recipe Picture courtesy of Salu Salo

A custard dessert, flan can be made with just milk, eggs, and sugar. However, this healthier version of Spanish flan also integrates cream cheese for rich flavor without a lot of fat.

It’s best to make this a day ahead of time. First, make caramel by liquefying sugar in a saucepan. Coat the bottom of a round cake pan, and then make the cream cheese custard base. Bake until golden, and chill overnight.

Serves 12

Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 Tbsp. water

8 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened

8 large eggs

1 can (14 oz.) fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Pan Con Tomate (Spanish Tomato Bread)

This tapas dish is a bit like bruschetta. It also starts with crusty bread and tomatoes, but then builds with regional ingredients.

Shave high-quality manchego, a sheep’s milk cheese from the La Mancha region of Spain. Then top with serrano ham, a dry cured ham that’s similar to prosciutto.

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 Roma tomatoes, halved and deseeded

2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved

1 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar

White Beans with Clams

Spanish clams are often served for tapas. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy this tasty dish for dinner instead.

If you precook a half pound of dry beans or use canned, this dish is quick to toss together on a weeknight. Start by cooking minced garlic, and once fragrant, add white wine. Add the clam, beans, and saffron, simmering until the clams open up.

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 cans (15 oz. each) white beans

2 lb. clams, scrubbed and rinsed

2 cloves garlic, minced

Café Carajillo (Spanish Coffee)

Thankfully you don’t have to travel to Spain to enjoy café carajillo, better known globally as Spanish coffee.

However, you might have a hard time tracking down Licor 43, aka Cuarenta y Tres. Similar to Cointreau, it’s a smooth citrus liqueur but hails from southern Spain. If you can’t find a bottle of the Spanish liqueur, rum or spiced rum will work too.

Spanish Watermelon Soup

healthy Spanish soup recipe Picture courtesy of Vegetarian Times

Spain is known for its cold soups like gazpacho. For a way to cool off in the summer, you’ll love this twist using refreshing watermelon.

The tomatoes are boiled and peeled. After they cool, all the ingredients are pureed until smooth. The watermelon is added last. In this recipe, the hardest step isn’t even hard but cumbersome. The soup has to be strained before serving.

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 tomatoes

1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp. paprika

Easy Spanish Rice with Ground Beef

Spanish rice recipe Picture courtesy of Bless this Mess

Maybe the most common side dish in Spain is seasoned rice, but if you add ground beef, it’s upgraded to a one-pan dinner.

It’s tasty when served up in a bowl, stuffed into bell peppers, or turned into a taco filling. But if you have a real hankering for meat, you can also have it next to sizzling steak fajitas.

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

2 cups dry white rice

3 cups hot water

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef

Spanish Fish Stew

Spanish fish stew recipe Picture courtesy of Wishful Chef

Since Spain has long stretches of coast, fish stew is a hearty dish that’s readily available. And any kind of white fish will do, or even salmon if you can use a dose of healthy fats.

The stew is also loaded with king prawns. Plus, it has potatoes to help thicken the stew and chickpeas for plant-based protein and vitamins.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, finely sliced

1 lb. potatoes, cut into small chunks

1 tsp. paprika

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes

Arroz Amarillo (Spanish Yellow Rice)

Spanish yellow rice recipe Picture courtesy of Delish D’Lites

Spanish rice often gets its yellow color from saffron, but in this recipe turmeric does the trick. It has more pungent flavor, a little like bitter orange, so don’t expect it to taste the same as saffron, which is a bit mellower.

Don’t add turmeric to rice on its own to make Spanish rice. The fresh thyme and chicken bouillon help round out this side dish.

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup white onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 tsp. powdered chicken bouillon

1/2 tsp. ground turmeric

Shrimp with Parsley Sauce

Parsley is often overlooked as a mildly flavored herb; yet it can be make a great sauce when given the chance.

In this dish, it’s mixed with jalapeno and scallions for a bit of zing, and altogether the sauce is fresh and bright. Aside from that, the shrimp gets mixed with only wine and water before baking in the oven for just 10 minutes.

Serves 4

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic

1 bunch fresh parsley

3 scallions

1/2 jalapeno pepper

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Spanish Chorizo Chicken with Olives

Considering this dish only required three ingredients to make, it is bursting with flavor.

If you want to make it as authentic as possible, look for real Spanish olives. Use arbequina if you can find them. Otherwise, the more common Manzanilla green olives will work too. Choose the ones that are stuffed with pimento, and you’ll get a hint of pepper in the dish too.

Serves 4

Ingredients

The empanadas we’re used to eating in America are typically single serving size, but this Spanish empanada is like a large savory pie. And it’s rustic too, so you don’t have to worry about making it look just right.

The dough – made with beer – gets rolled out into two big rectangles for the top and bottom. It’s filled with tomatoes, peppers, onions, hard-boiled eggs, and tuna. The edges are crimped, and the whole thing goes in the oven on a baking sheet.

Serve at room temperature.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Dough:

3 cups einkorn flour (or all-purpose flour)

1 tsp. salt

1 cup beer

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

This is a wholesome one-pan dinner that comes together easily on the stove.

The chicken breasts are pan-fried until golden brown and then transferred to plate. The same pan is then used to cook the bell pepper, and onion, followed by the rice. Once the rice is tender, the chicken is returned to the pan to simmer with the other ingredients.

Finally stir in the peas, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve.

Serves 4

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
