Emily's Cookbook:  Spain Recipes For Olive Oil and Vinegar Lovers

 

Pan Con Tomate
The simplest of dishes somehow always end up being the most delicious. It’s generally believed that this Catalonian dish was originally created to liven up stale bread and use up extra juicy tomatoes. A special bread called pan de cristal (literally, crystal bread), which has extra-airy pockets for more tomato-soaking-up potential, and tomatoes specifically grown for the express purpose of rubbing on freshly toasted bread are traditionally used for this in Catalonia, where it goes by the name pa amb tomàquet. The ingredient list is very small, so do use the best ingredients you can.

Seafood Paella
This version of paella is made with a mixture of shellfish and white fish, as is traditional in seaside communities. If you’re a shellfish person, feel free to substitute more shellfish for the fish, and, of course, vice versa.

A paella pan is the only way to go for the paella recipes.
