Seafood Paella
Although paella can be done entirely on top of the stove, it will cook more evenly if placed in a hot oven for the final 10 to 15 minutes, uncovered, with any quick-cooking seafood spread on top. When the paella is removed from the oven, the rice should be slightly underdone. A tent of foil is then placed on top, and the paella allowed to rest at least 10 minutes, so the rice can finish cooking.

Smoked Trout Frittatas
There isn’t much in the way of food that tart, citric, sometimes spicy and often refreshing Austrian rieslings can’t handle with aplomb. Spring’s challenges, like artichokes, asparagus and salads, would not daunt them. Nor would eggs. In fact, the whiff of sulfur up front in some of the wines suggested eggs.Here’s a simple brunch or lunch preparation suited to entertaining. Individual frittatalike mixtures, inspired by the Spanish tortilla of eggs, potatoes and onions, with the addition of smoked trout, are baked, not fried. They can be made up to an hour in advance and reheated or even served just warm. A salad is all that’s needed alongside, and do not hesitate to toss in some asparagus or artichokes.
Tapa of Mushrooms in Garlic Sauce
You find these mushrooms served in little ceramic casseroles at tapas bars all over Spain. It’s a simple hors d’oeuvre that can be made ahead and reheated. In Spain, it would be made with about four times as much olive oil and served in small ceramic cazuelas. You also can serve the mushrooms with toothpicks.

Samfaina
This Catalan dish is akin to ratatouille, the French dish that rummages around in the summer garden to combine eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes and onions in a pot that simmers over low heat. The vegetables soften and collapse into one another, and the flavors meld. Samfaina goes further, though: The ingredients are chopped into very small pieces, then cooked for several hours until the mixture is so thick and caramelized that it almost resembles a vegetable marmalade. It’s often used as a sauce for rabbit, chicken or salt cod, but it can also be a side dish unto itself. It is a time investment — lots of chopping to be done before hours of cooking and simmering — but your efforts will yield dinner for the rest of the week. The samfaina will taste better the next day, and it’s delicious hot or cold. Spoon it on a sautéed or grilled piece of fish, grilled sausages, poached eggs or a thick piece of toast.
Andalusian Cabbage Stew
This simple Spanish stew is spiked with a splash of sherry vinegar as you finish cooking it. Serve the stew as a side dish or as a main dish with rice.
Sautéed Cod With Potatoes in Chorizo-Mussel Broth
This recipe came to The Times in 2002 from the French chef Eric Ripert, whose cooking at Le Bernardin carries flavors reminiscent of his culinary training near the Spanish border. Quickly sautéed cod is placed on a bed of potatoes with a savory, supple broth ladled over. It takes not too much time, and it is delicious.
