Creamy Flan Napolitano / Kreminis pudingas „Flan Napolitano“
After a short break, I came back to post again on my lovely blog. During the last few weeks I was busy moving because we moved from one place to another, so there was a lot of stuff to do while transferring all the items from point A to point B. Only when you move…

A quick dinner doesn’t have to be boring. In 20-30 minutes, without much effort, you can prepare a fairly fancy and particularly tasty dinner.

Spanish-Style Garlic Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo) / Krevetės ispaniškai – su alyvuogių aliejumi ir česnaku (Gambas al Ajillo)
Spanish style shrimps with olive oil and garlic is one of the fastest prepared Spanish dishes. Preparation takes only 10-15 minutes and it’s ready to eat!

Spanish Potato and Tuna Salad (Ensalada Rusa) / Ispaniška bulvių ir tuno mišrainė (Ensalada Rusa)
While living in Spain, I tried various types of “Ensada Rusa“. Some were similar to the popular Lithuanian white salad, other “Ensada Rusa“ salads were simpler, similar to my recipe. But wherever in Spain you eat this salad, the main ingredients will always be potatoes, carrots, tuna, eggs and mayonnaise. Well, all the other ingredients…
Classic Spanish Custard – Natilla / Klasikinis ispaniškas desertas – Natilla
Natilla is a custard dessert that has a very mild flavor and light texture, and it requires only 6 ingredients to make. In Spain, you can buy this dessert at almost every store. The vanilla and chocolate flavors are most often found. I will make the last one the next time, because chocolate natilla resembles…
Majorcan Cabbage Soup (Sopa Mallorquina) / Malijorkietiška kopūstų sriuba (Sopa Mallorquina)
Well, how many of you buy a cabbage and a poor vegetable stays in a fridge for a day, two, or maybe a week..? It happens to me sometimes. And it just so hard sometimes to make up what to do with it. I was thinking to make cabbage rolls, but they take so long…
Spanish Potato Salad with Tuna (Patatas Aliñadas) / Ispaniškos bulvių salotos su tunu (Patatas Aliñadas)
We all know, how spending time in the kitchen is not the favorite thing to do during summer, especially when it’s really hot outside. I am also one of those people, but I can’t eat just a leaf of lettuce and berries all summer long, I’m quickly getting bored of them, so when I want…

Spanish-Style Cod (Bacalao a la Riojana) / Troškinta menkė ispaniškai (Bacalao a la Riojana)
How often do you make fish for dinner or lunch?? 🙂 I try to make fish dishes at least once a week, whether it is roasted salmon, or cod, or just pasta with shrimps. After all, you can’t be alive just eating meat and vegetable dishes, from time to time almost everyone wants to have…
Vegetarian Spanish Rice (Arroz Viudo) / Vegetariškas ryžių troškinys ispaniškai (Arroz Viudo)
For a day without meat – vegetarian Spanish rice. Very simple to make, doesn’t need much effort and time. That’s why I am so fascinated by Spanish dishes, because preparation doesn’t take a lot of time (well, unless you are making paella, then it takes a little longer..), and for most dishes you need just a…
Spanish Chickpea and Chorizo Stew (Garbanzos a la Riojana) / Ispaniškas avinžirnių ir chorizo dešros troškinys (Garbanzos a la Riojana)
Although it’s hard to believe, but today I’ve seen cherry trees blooming! So, the real spring in Seattle will have to start soon. It doesn’t matter that the weather is still cold, but the days are already getting longer, and the sun is more and more often appearing through the clouds (yey!). While waiting for…
