Garlic prawns. These are cooked in oil in shallow dish on top of the stove. Add chopped garlic and a couple of chillies. Serve with bagguette.

Canarian Potatoes(wrinkled potatoes). It is best to use small,new potatoes. They must be washed, placed in a wide cooking pot and covered with water which has a high salt content. Boil the potatoes in the usual manner, then pour off the water and place the pot back onto the stove. The rest of the water is evaporated over a low heat, while the pot is gently shaken until the remaining salt has crystalised on the skin and they wrinkle slightly. Serve with Mojo Verde(green garlic sauce). 1 garlic bulb,1 teaspoon salt, 200ml oil, 100-200ml white wine vinegar, 1 bunch parsley or coriander and half teaspoon of cumin. Peel and seperate the garlic then mix the garlic salt cumin and 100ml vinegar in blender until finely chopped. Remove stalks from parsley or coriander in put in to blender. Add oil slowly mixing all the time. Taste and add more vinegar as required.

Hope this is of some help?
How about starting off with a nice chilled soup? Gazpacho is a Spanish classic cold vegetable soup, I've even had it with a couple of ice cubes floating in the bowl. Very easy to make and really refreshing.



GAZPACHO

One 28oz. can of crushed plum tomatoes

One 32oz can of tomato juice

One large cucumber quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/4" slices

Two stalks celery cut in slices

One green bell pepper chopped

Two to three tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup lemon juice

Salt %26amp; pepper to taste



Mix all ingredients together in a large serving bowl and chill for several hours, serve well chilled with an ice cube or two in each bowl. Garnish with a lemon slice.

Pork chops - undercooked to give them a true Spanish evening of fun and games.

Start off serving plenty of cheap plonk in large glasses, the partygoers won't bother what they are eating but will praise it next day.................................

Spanish-style Pimentos with Chillies

ngredients

12 baby red peppers

2 red chillies

2 green chillies

3 tbsp Olive oil

rock salt, to serve



Method

1. Wash and dry the peppers, chillies and green chillies, and pat dry. In a shallow frying pan, warm the olive oil, but don't get it too hot. Add the whole peppers and chillies and fry over a low heat for 2 minutes, until the peppers and chillies begin to lightly colour.



2. Cover the pan and reduce the heat. Continue to cook the chillies over a very low heat for a further 20-30 minutes, until just tender. Give the pan an occasional shake to prevent the peppers catching on the base.



3. Serve warm, with a mound of sea salt for dipping, and crusty bread for mopping-up any juices.







Spanish Lemon Ice

ngredients

1 egg, separated

250ml Milk

140g caster sugar

1 lemon, grated zest and juice



Method



Whisk the egg yolk with the milk until blended before adding the sugar, grated zest and lemon juice. Whisk the egg white until stiff and fold it into the lemon mixture with a metal spoon.



Churn in an ice cream machine until set, or use a deep freezer. It's a good idea to beat the ice when it's semi frozen so that any ice crystals are broken up.
