Recipes – Cook Like a Spaniard
Salmon Al Perfume De Vermouth Salmon Poached in A Vermouth Reduction, Serves 4. 2 Tbsp. clarified butter; 2 shallots, finely minced; 1 cup Martini & Rossi sweet vermouth; 1½ cup fish stock; 4 salmon filets (6 oz. each); salt & white pepper to taste; 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley; 2 Tbsp. butter (optional). In a non-reactive sauté pan, just big enough to accommodate all four filets, bring the clarified butter to a boil and cook the shallots slightly. Deglaze the pan with the sweet vermouth, add the stock and bring to a boil. Season the salmon filets, add them to the pan and return to the boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook until the salmon is just done (about 5 minutes). Transfer the salmon filets to a serving platter, loosely cover with foil paper and keep warm. To finish the sauce add the parsley and reduce the poaching liquid over high heat to desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning. For a velvety smooth sauce, whisk in 2 Tbsp. of butter, pour over the salmon and serve at once. Note: the cooked salmon will hold for a while, as will the unfinished sauce. However, once the sauce is reduced it must be served at once
Cordero Al Ajo Arriero Lamb Braised in Vinegar with Paprika and Whole Garlic Cloves, Serves 4 – 6. ¼ cup olive oil; 3 lb. boneless lamb, cut into 2-inch chunks; 1 large onion, chopped; 1 whole head of garlic, separated but not peeled; 1 bay leaf; 1 tsp. Spanish paprika; ½ cup vinegar (The type of vinegar you use will give important character to this dish. Red wine vinegar is traditional, but sherry, champagne or balsamic vinegar should be considered as worthy alternatives); salt; freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a deep casserole. Add the meat and brown well on all sides. Add the onion and sauté until softened. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook over a low flame (or a slow oven, about 275o) for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Add some water during cooking if necessary. Remove bay leaf before service
Pollo A La Cerveza Chicken Braised in Beer, Serves 4 – 6. 2 – 3 Tbsp. olive oil or chicken fat; 12 chicken legs and/or thighs; salt; pepper; 3 large onions, peeled and chopped; a few saffron threads (optional); 1 bay leaf; 1 cup beer (your choice); Preheat oven to 350o. Heat olive oil in a heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season the meat liberally with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides in the oil. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside. Pour off excess fat. In the same pan, start the onions, bay leaf and saffron on medium heat. When the onions are soft and starting to color, transfer them with the chicken pieces to a casserole. The vessel should accommodate the chicken pieces snugly, but in one layer. Add the beer, which should cover the chicken about halfway. Finish, uncovered, in the oven until tender, about 45 minutes
Gazpacho Andaluz Pureed Garlic-Vegetable Soup, Serves 10. 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped; 1 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into chunks; 8 Roma tomatoes, cut into chunks; 3 cloves of garlic, peeled; 4 thick slices of stale baguette-type bread, soaked in water and wrung out; 1 cup olive oil; ¼ cup vinegar; 3 tsp. salt; 5 cups water. Put half of the cucumber, peppers, tomatoes and garlic into food processor. Process until completely chopped. Remove to a bowl. Process second half of vegetables. Put bread and oil in the food processor and combine with the vinegar, salt and water. Add to vegetables in the bowl. Blend to combine until smooth
Gazpacho Malagueño Chilled Garlic-Almond Soup, Serves 10. ¾ cup almonds, blanched; 6 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped; ¾ cup olive oil; ½ cup sherry vinegar (the vinegar you use is critical to the flavor – and color! – of this dish. For variations, try using a moscatel vinegar or a white balsamic); 2 tsp. salt; ¾ baguette (about 10 oz.), crust removed, soaked in milk (or water) and wrung out; 4 cups water; 40 peeled green grapes; bread cubes fried in olive oil. Grind almonds, garlic, oil, vinegar and salt in the food processor for 15 minutes. Add bread and water. Blend to combine. Adjust seasoning, and add more water if the soup is too thick. Chill. Serve in chilled bowls garnished with fried croutons and peeled grapes

Parking not so grand since the restaurant is right on El Camino. But it’s a cute place with very beautiful place settings.

Iberia is a cute restaurant with lots of dishes to choose from! It’s conveniently located on el Camino real but parking might be an issue since it’s street parking. Overall food is good but on the pricy side, service is also pretty good

Excellent food. We enjoyed a variety of tapas. Each one was excellent. Sangria was tasty and complemented the food.

This has been the worst experience of my trip to San Francisco. I had difficulty understanding Spanish dish names showed on menu, and the poor cellphone signal inside the restaurant prevented me from accessing Yelp images to order dishes. I was hoping to receive assistance from the staff. However, the woman in the blue shirt I encountered had a very poor attitude. She didn’t introduce any dishes or offer suggestions, and during the ordering process, she remained distant and arrogant. A very unhappy experience.

Food was delicious! The server gave good recommendations. We had the king oyster mushrooms, dates wrapped in bacon, and smoked salmon toast topped with a thick, juicy scallop. Very interested to try the other tapas

Get a few tapas to enjoy as you wait for your Paella to get done is the KEY. Bacon wrapped dates was a pleasant surprise for us. Fried anything is good here – warm and fresh if you get seafood (as they should be at a Spanish restaurant haha). The small Paella was huge – maybe ideal for 3+ people. A bit too oily IMO but it’s how it should be.

Best paella I’ve ever had! Granted I am not an expert, but the food was amazing. We came late and someone who I believe was the owner offered to order for us in order for the food to come out fast enough for the next reservation. His tapas choices? Amazing. The bien me sabe was fantastic, as was the stuffed squid. The paella was just the right amount of moist and all the seafood was amazingly cooked. Bonus points for the best sangria I’ve ever had. It was a little rushed so no more photos, but the food was absolutely good enough to have been worth it.
