Recipes with olive oil

Ready to lick your fingers clean with this delicious Spanish dish? A few weeks before Christmas, my mother called me to ask if I fancied Zarzuela, a kind of Spanish fish stew with different types of fish, for Christmas. Normally, for Christmas, I make Beef Wellington, leg of lamb, rack of lamb, or we have gourmet dining, so this was a nice and welcome change. I had already made the Beef Wellington a few days earlier for a group of friends, so I didn't mind not making a second one. On Christmas Day, my father was happily cooking in the...

In my youth, during the summer holidays, we would visit my grandparents and family each year in my father's birthplace; Los Prados de Armijo.
