Spanish Meatballs (1 syn per portion)
Chicken in chilli & tomato sauce
Potatas Bravas
Vegetable Paella
Spanish Tortilla
Prawn skewers with chorizo (2.5 syns each)
Paprika pork loin on bread (2 syns each for the bread)
Chicken & Chorizo skewers (2.5 syns)
So, recipes - all this served 4 of us, with leftovers for me & hubs last night
Tomato sauce (used for meatballs, potatas bravas and chicken with chilli)
2 onions
4 garlic cloves
1 jar passata
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
Soften the onions and garlic in a frying pan (I used frylight and a bit of water)
Chuck in the rest oo the ingredients, cover and simmer for about 1/2 an hour
Potatas Bravas
The potatoes are usually cooked in an inch of oil - which is obviously not very SW friendly, so I cut up 2 baking potatoes in cubes and roasted them in the oven with frylight, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 a big red chilli, salt & pepper. When done pour over some of the tomato sauce you made.
Chicken with chilli
In a frying pan saute chopped up chicken breast with 1/2 a big red chill and add some of the pre made tomato sauce.
Meatballs.
I used 500g ex lean mince, 50g breadcrumbs (worked out at 1 syn per portion), 1 egg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. I combined all thei ngredients and then left in the fridge for a hour before cooking. This made about 18 meatballs.
Brown them off then put them in the remaining tomato sauce on a very low heat so they are just simmering for about an hour and a half.
Paprika Pork & Skewers
Time to get out your george foreman if you have one
Cut a Pork loin (fat removed) into 3 pieces) and marinade in lemon juice a teaspoon of paprika for a few hours, then grill. Serve on a small slice of a baguette stype bread (2 syns)
Skewers - are really simple, just put alternating bits of prawn/chicken and chorizo on skewers and grill. I used 2.5 syns worth of chorizo per skewer.
Vegetable paella
soften onion and garlic in a pan with 1 beef tomato (chopped). Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika, some chopped up peppers, paella rice and vegtable stock to cover. Cook until the rice is cooked. Add more stock if it begins to dry out.
Spanish Tortilla
Fry in frylight some onions and garlic. Meanwhile peel & slice a large baking potato thinly and put in water in the microwave for about 10 mins till the potato is soft. Add to the pan. Add 4 beaten eggs, salt and pepper and cook till the underside is set. Then pop under the grilled to finish off the top.
