Double the protein, double the fun! This Spanish recipe is a nod to paella using easy equipment (yup, you only need one pan) and simple ingredients like chorizo and bell pepper to infuse the rice with rich smoky flavors. And if that wasn’t already a feast on its own, we added golden-seared chicken breasts drizzled with lemon and sprinkled with fresh parsley. ¡Buen provecho!

If you love a good potato dish, you’ll be delighted by the Spanish version of “fries and dip.” In fact, you might even prefer it and become a total food snob. But the crispy-fried potato cubes with aioli are not the only stars of this plate. We also added some just-as-crispy artichokes, juicy grape tomatoes, green olives, and arugula. Oh, and did we mention the soft crumbles of feta cheese?

When it comes to dinner, you can never go wrong with chicken, especially when it’s pan-seared to golden perfection. In this top-rated Spanish recipe, we’re combining Southwest-spiced chicken legs with a bright chimichurri and creamy black beans cooked in the juice of a sweet Roma tomato. And with a bit of lime zest even the rice gets to feel special. Once everything is plated, add that fresh crema and the delicious deed is done.

Pasta isn’t typically associated with Spain even though it is a pretty common staple across the country. Plus, Italy literally isn’t that far off the map. So, we asked paella to step aside to hand the spotlight to this bountiful spaghetti dish featuring juicy shrimp, smoky chorizo, and sweet tomato. And to highlight its Spanish temperament, we’ve also included a healthy amount of chili flakes.

Who doesn’t love a savory egg sandwich for breakfast (or really at any time of day)? In this little rendition, our chefs decided to celebrate Spain’s favorite sausage in the most delicious way. Fried until ultra-crispy, the meaty rounds are placed on cheesy brioche buns and joined by a sunny-side up egg and thin slices of avocado. Enjoy with a solid potato hash and you’re off to a great start!
