Spanish Main Dishes

When it comes to Spanish food recipes, mains are the ones that are most Googled.

Not to be confused with Latin America’s cuisine, Spain’s main meal dishes tend to be either fish, chops, or roasted meats like lamb and chicken.

Because it gets sweltering during the summer, fish and salads are a staple of Andalucian food.

In the winter, that all changes in favor of hearty stews and roasted meats.
