Gambas al Ajillo y Pan con Tomate

Gambas al Ajillo y Pan con Tomate

Tapas are a perfect way to explore Spanish cuisine at home! We’ve put together a meal of two traditional and popular Spanish tapas, also known as bocas or appetizers - pan con tomate (toast with tomatoes) and gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp).

Tortilla Española

Tortilla Española

Spanish omelet, or tortilla española, is one of the simplest and most beloved Spanish dishes. It is nothing more than potatoes and onions sautéed in olive oil, then mixed with eggs to form an omelet. According to the book Culinaria Spain, tortilla española has been around since the late 1500’s when the head chef served it to the Spanish Kings Phillip III and Philip IV.

Köttbullar

Köttbullar

Sweden’s most famous dish must be Köttbullar / Swedish meatballs! Its popularity increased when the Swedish company, Ikea, started introducing it to the world at their stores. However, these meatballs did not originate in Sweden - the dish was based on a recipe that King Charles XII of Sweden brought back from Turkey in the early 18th century!

Reviews

An amazing family experience!

"The Explore Mexico box was fantastic. The box includes 3 authentic Mexican recipes (4 servings each), 5-7 pre-measured spice and sauce mixes, a shopping list for fresh ingredients, a fun cooking tool, Mexico flag pin + sticker, and a 16-page Cultural Explorer booklet. The recipes were easy to follow even with kids, and the flavors were so authentic. I loved that it wasn't just cooking - we learned about the Aztec & Mayan history, geography, music and language too. It made dinner feel like a mini trip to Mexico. Everything was well organized. Will definitely be ordering another country!"

Still checking it out, but so far, so good.

"So far so good. We accidentally used the wrong seasoning packet on our first meal, lol, but it was a great learning experience. So far everything seems easy to follow. I may have more thoughts after a few more boxes."
