This paella is a good example of how fruits can play an important role in savoury dishes.
Braised red cabbage Madrid style | Lombarda a la Madrileña
In my family we eat this dish of braised red cabbage with apples as a starter on Christmas Eve. I’m a born and bred Madrileño and this is a very traditional Christmas dish; in fact I can’t recall a Christmas without it. My great aunty Tere is always in charge of this dish but I am the one she gives it first to try, to check if it’s missing something. I have learned from the best.
Morcilla con piquillos | Black pudding with sweet peppers
An icon of Spanish gastronomy, Morcilla de Burgos is made with rice and spices. I have eaten tons of this stuff as my mum is from Burgos and there was always a few visits every year with it’s compulsory shopping of flavours from her childhood, which as well is now mine. This is a very popular tapa throughout Spain though and serve with piquillo peppers is the most common way to find it, just like in my restaurants. This combo with the apples makes it a very rounded fine dish.
