About Spanish cooking
What defines Spanish cooking?
Spanish cooking starts with a sofrito — onion, garlic and tomato cooked down slowly in olive oil — and reaches for smoked pimenton, saffron and sherry vinegar for its distinctive notes. It is a cuisine of preserved excellence: jamon, chorizo, canned bonito and piquillo peppers, tinned mussels, aged Manchego, all deployed with little cooking. Rice dishes are cooked flat and undisturbed so a socarrat crust forms, and the tapas format means small, shareable plates rather than courses. Our 1,054 Spanish recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common Spanish pantry staples?
Extra-virgin olive oil, smoked pimenton (sweet and hot), saffron, sherry vinegar, bomba or Calasparra rice, canned piquillo peppers, chorizo, jamon serrano, Manchego, garlic, onions, canned tomatoes and good tinned seafood. Pimenton, saffron and sherry vinegar are the three that read as unmistakably Spanish.
