Here’s a small sample of what we made in our apartment while in Seville. Even though we only ate out a couple of times, we were able to sample quite a few new foods by hitting the abundant food stores! The best word to describe the food here?
FRESH!
The kids were amazing about helping out in the tiny kitchen. First homemade meal after 30 hours of travel was pasta and meat sauce with picante (spicy) pimento and a salad on the side. The red wine was about €3 a bottle – whee!Black pasta (squid ink) with spinach and tomatoesReady to eat pulpo (octopus). Just heat, pour some olive oil over it and sprinkle with pimenton (Spanish paprika). Yummy – this was Nolan’s favourite.Neil’s lunch: cooked chicken, fried mushrooms and salad on a fresh whole wheat bun. We buy fresh buns or loaves daily (often still warm from the oven).Lentils with chorizo (Lentejas Con Chorizo) with pan friend merluza (hake). Merluza has become everyone’s favourite fish – it’s so buttery and tender. Fresh figs for snacks and desserts.Merluza, potatoes in olive oil, pimento padronsFresh clams fried with some gingerClams, pan fried bacalao (cod), saffron brown rice, steamed broccoli.One of our €3 bottles of wine.Starting off the day with fresh orange juice!Standard breakfast of fresh bread with olive oil, fresh avocado, fresh juice. Am I repeating myself?The kids get a kick out of calling me “EVIL Mama” 🙂Neil’s red wine, not Nolan’s 🙂Kids working on dinnerFrying up clamsPeeling shrimpSeafood medleyRisotto de mariscos (seafood risotto)Kids traded gelatos for these smoothies. There were other flavours, but this was everyone’s favourite: apple, mango, banana, orange, passion fruit, peach, and lemon.Highlight of a hot day was coming home and pulling these from the fridge for a drink.Helping with dinner.Team juicing.So glad we packed our own knife.
