Hope you're hungry....!

This is the foodie page for http://www.furthersouthofgranada.blogspot.com/ your favourite blog from Spain!

Having spent the past 5 years in an Andalucian mountaintop village, learning and trying local gastronomy, I'm constantly asked for seasonal recipes which I have occasionally added to the blog. Now they'll all be here in one place for you to check out and try!

In conjuction there will be an ebay shop so that you can obtain those hard to find spices and ingredients, essential for Tapas and Spanish cookery.

Any comments or recommendations welcome!

So come on get cooking with me, simple demystified good Spanish fare......Bienvenido!

Going for a Dip

I always throw a few dips together when we have guests, they' re a great starter, easy to make with a processor, and go down a storm. Here are my favourites:

Hummus

In the food processor, half a jar of soaked chick peas, tablespoon of Tahini (creamed sesame seed paste) 3 crushed cloves of garlic, salt pepper, teaspoon of cumin. While the motor is running add enough olive oil and lemon juice to the consistency you want. Finish with a sprinkle of chili powder.

Baba Ganoush or Aubergine

Middle eastern again, prick an Aubergine all over and roast until soft.  Scoop out the flesh, mix with cumin, coriander leaves, lemon juice cayenne, salt and pepper.

Philly garlic dip

A small tub of natural or greek yoghurt, 2 tablespoons of mayo, 3 cloves of garlic crushed, a tub of Philadelphia cheese, flat leaf parsley, mash it all together....

Avocado

2 avocados scooped out, a fiery chili pepper, a fresh tomato and a little diced onion, a squirt of lemon juice, mash it all up, keep the stone from the Avocado on top until you are ready to serve as it stops the dip turning brown.

So just some friends and a plate of breadsticks, a few beers, mix together and enjoy!
