Whether you love it or hate it, Spain is our motherland. It's the country where some of us came from and the country that gave us our language, our culture, our way of life. Depending on where your family is from in Latin America, you can have a million things different or a million things the same but, at the end of the day (and for better or worse), Spain is Hispanic Heritage Month personified.
That's why, for the last recipes I'm sharing (although come back tomorrow for an extra-special surprise!), I knew they had to be from Spain. And what better way to celebrate where we came from than with 6 of the most traditional (and delicious) dishes from Spain? Here they are! Enjoy them with your family and remember, whether you call yourself Hispanic, Latino or simply go by your country of origin, we're all connected—at least in our common language and love of food.
