How To Make Spanish Pisto With Aubergines

,
Late summer and autumn is the ideal time to enjoy this delicious vegetable dish that is fundamentally vegan. Spanish pisto hails from La Mancha and doesn’t usually have aubergines. However, we like their silky texture and summery flavour, and also enjoy the oomph that some Provençal herbs give to the dish, which is very similar to a French ratatouille.

How to make Bechamel Sauce the Spanish way

,
Bechamel is a French recipe, but the Spanish have made it their own, using it as the principal ingredient in croquetas, as well as the sauce for several pasta, meat and vegetable dishes, and the topping for gratins. Bechamel can also be used to thicken and give a luxurious texture to soups.

How To Make Tomate Frito

,
Tomate frito is every Spanish cook’s go-to tomato sauce – tangy, savoury and hugely versatile. In supermarkets you’ll usually find it in a completely separate aisle to the tinned tomatoes, available in tins, jars and cartons. The commercial stuff can be tasty, but is often highly processed and full of additives, so making your own is a great idea.
