Great Spanish Doughnuts!

One of the many great things about Spain is the delicious churros, traditionally served for breakfast.  These thin doughnuts coated in a little sugar are dipped into thick hot chocolate.  Surprisingly easy to make, the churro mix is simply mixed with water and placed into a piping bag to be piped directly into the hot oil.  The little churros are fried until golden before being drained and sprinkled with just a little sugar.  That's it! They are now ready to be dipped into thick hot chocolate!  A handy churro maker makes life even easier!  The interchangeable nozzles mean that you can make a variety of different shapes.
Why not give them a try!

Enjoy good food with family and friends!

The Post Christmas period often leaves us feeling a little deflated.  The party season is over for another year and many of us have a few pounds to lose after the excesses of seasonal food and drink. Our wallets have often taken a bit of a beating in December and we often make savings by staying at home instead of going out to eat and drink .This time of year finds us longing for the summer, lighter nights and a bit of warmth in the sun. 

Whilst the longer, warmer days may still be some time away, we can all still enjoy good times with family and friends. We know of no better way to do this than to cook up a delicious paella, plonk it in the middle of  the table and tuck in. The recipe is simple and the end result is tasty and nutritious.  All it needs to accompany is a nice salad, some crusty bread and something good to drink! The paella can be made for as many or as few people as you like and serving it up in the pan makes for less washing up!  This certainly beats the winter blues in our house!

Ingredients, pans and other equipment are all available on the web site!

Well Folks the 7th January has arrived and Christmas has been packed up and put away for another year. Sadly, we are now getting to the end of our lovely Iberico Ham.

We have spent many a happy hour over Christmas slicing and sharing this magnificent ham with family and friends. As we reach the bone, the little tasty scraps will be put to good use.  They can be added to lentil dishes and are lovely in a cheese sauce poured over some lightly steamed cauliflower.  We love them folded into some softly scrambled eggs.  Take a look at the recipe on our web site for details .http://www.spanishtradingco.co.uk/scrambled-eggs-with-jamon
There is a lot to look forward to as we enter the new year and we at the Spanish Trading Co. wish all our customers a very happy and prosperous 2014.
