Hola!
Welcome back to Its All About Spain blog. Have you ever heard or know about the
traditional food in Spain. For all of your information, other that Guitar and
Bullfighting, Spain also famous with a several traditional food. So, for this
entry I will share with you the traditional food of Spanish.
Croquetas
are ubiquitous in Spain, although they most likely originate from the French
'croquettes'. Taken from:
First
and foremost, I will share about Croquettes, the traditional food in Spain.
Croquetes are cylindrical, covered in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. They are
usually made with white sauce and beef, sometimes mixed with varying amounts of
pork, and frequently with some chouriço, black pepper or piri-piri to add more
flavour. Seafood, fish (other than codfish) and vegetarian (potato) croquetes
are also eaten in Portugal, but those have other names (such as rissol, pastel,
empada), thus the name croquete only refers to the Dutch-style beef croquette.
You can find Spanish a plate of
croquetas in almost any restaurant or bar, each made to the establishment's own
recipe. It makes food comparison throughout Spain a delight, and not at all a
bad idea for judging up a restaurant's quality (hint: the traditional,
scrubbed-down bars serve the best). While the creamy cheese (queso) croquettes
pack a smooth flavour, try croquettes filled with a mixture of béchamel and
Spanish cured ham (jamon), or the local sweet-spiced black sausage (morcilla)
for something stronger.
