A Taste of Spanish Cuisine

This feast gave me an interesting challenge, there was no kitchen that was available for use at the site. Fortunately, it was a small feast (for about 50 people). The menu was designed in order to purchase roasted chickens from a local grocery store as well as to have the remaining dishes cooked on two propane camp stoves.

Roasted Chicken, served cold with two sauces

Salçero para Perdius o Gallines en Ast (Almond and Pomegranate Sauce)

Juvert (Green Sauce)

Casola de Carn (Lamb Casserole)

Ciurons Tendres Ab Let De Melles (Chick Peas with Almond Milk)

Salsa A Bolets (Mushrooms)

Bunyols (Cheese Fritters)

Menya D’Àngels (Angel’s Food)
