Boston: Top Four Tapas at Toro
My all-around favorite restaurant in Boston? Probably Toro. Somehow it seems to be just as cut out for grabbing dinner on the fly as it is for lingering with friends over small plates and pitchers of sangria. More importantly, the menu is almost 50 items deep, and the flavors are so bright and full that I have to reign myself in from ordering multiple rounds of each dish.Nasty Bits: Morcilla, or Spanish Blood Sausage
The last time I made blood sausage, I stood by myself in my kitchen with one hand ladling a creamy blood mixture into casings supported by the other hand, thinking, why I am lading blood into intestines at two in the morning? Blood sausage—with its pudding-like texture of blood and fat, creamy in the center and crispy when browned in fat—is well worth the trouble if you can procure fresh blood.Serious Entertaining: Spain...On The Roof Again
Whether you have a roof, a deck, or simply a patch of your local park, Spanish food is perfect for al fresco dining. The flavors are earthy, the dishes are meant to be shared, and, in a pinch, a bottle of cold Verdejo and a hunk of nutty Mahon really makes its own meal.How to Make a Spanish Tortilla
I've come to believe that if there were an "If You Learn To Make Only One Dish This Ought To Be It" Award, the Spanish tortilla would make a very good candidate. Made with potatoes, onions, and eggs, the tortilla española is the go-to dish in Spain for a quick snack, a meal for an unexpected guest, or a late night tapas. See how easy it is to prepare and it might become a staple of yours, too.Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'
When The Barcelona Cookbook showed up on my desk, I initially thought it was a Spanish cookery book, or perhaps a cookbook of tapas recipes. As it turns out, The Barcelona Cookbook is both of these and more. It is a collection of recipes from Barcelona Wine Bar and Restaurants, a group of six restaurants located throughout Connecticut. While the cuisine served at all of the Barcelona restaurants can loosely be called Spanish, the menu is peppered with international influences from the backgrounds of this restaurant group's two owners, Sasa Mahr-Batuz and Andy Pforzheimer. Mahr-Batuz is a former professional tennis champion and restaurateur, and Pforzheimer is a Harvard-educated chef whose varied resume includes cooking dinners for the Harvard Lampoon, working...A Very Large Paella, From Floyd Does Spain
It's certainly not the biggest paella in the world, as it says, but the paella from Keith Floyd's Floyd Does Spain is still rather large: "Chuck in a few tons of red and green peppers, about a kilo of finely-chopped garlic..." (I would've just plopped the video on here as we usually do at Serious Eats, but for some reason embedding is "disabled by request" on this one, so you'll have to click through.)...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
