Have not yet mastered the empanada, but maybe that's coming when I retire in Spring '24. Honestly some of the recipes I get from the cooking section of the Galicia newspaper La Voz. Easy and tasty.Hi Jan, honestly, the tortilla, caldo, and torta should be bastante! Don’t forget the bread…they’ll likely be served a lot of that…. If you want get ambitious and make something you can easily transport, perhaps an empanada gallega de atún? Disfruta!
Walmart does carry almond flour. You can probably order it and skip the trip to the store.Will have to source the almond flour as I don't have a blender and I have not seen it here in town where I shop. Maybe Walmart though?
I have always brought back marcona almond flour when we have traveled, but recently I have found almond flour in both Walmart and Sam's club- not sure why it has become so more common. Grinding almonds in a blender can turn out terrible if you are not really careful. While I prefer the almonds from Spain for a tarta, the almond flour in the US is a good substitute, and sometimes results in a lighter cake. Either way- enjoy!View attachment 159031
Ok, here's the apple cheesecake thing I made from the newspaper recipe. Taking it to a gathering this afternoon. It may be the last opportunity to have drinks and snacks on a back patio this season. It's mild for Wyoming this weekend! I had some similar pastries in Spain although I don't think Apple was a choice.
I may just make the Santiago cake for the students so thanks for that @peregrina2000 . Will have to source the almond flour as I don't have a blender and I have not seen it here in town where I shop. Maybe Walmart though? Hate going there but maybe I will send Phil on a weekday morning.
Probably because of the increase in people looking for gluten free flour.but recently I have found almond flour in both Walmart and Sam's club- not sure why it has become so more common.
Works for me, just makes it easier for me to make tarta without traveling to Spain.Probably because of the increase in people looking for gluten free flour.
When Ive had Camino evenings, I've served Tortilla, a dessert, tino de Verana (everyone has heard of Sangria but chilled red wine isnt common here).Preparing for our first 4 hour session with students I am taking on a short winter Camino. The first, still- at- home session will go over the course syllabus (2 credit university course), topics for the individual assignments, a pre-camino self well-being assessment, brief Camino history, discussion of pilgrimage as a self-care initiative, and a sampler of possible pilgrim eats.
I will make tortilla (one with, one without onion), maybe one of those less sweet Spanish style cheesecakes, and what else can you think of? We are walking strictly in Galicia, so maybe Caldo Gallego? I won't have access to things like pulpo or Serano ham.
Here's today's tortilla attempt. Haven't made one since last winter and I think I used a little too much oil. I am sure Phil will comment later after a little piece of it.

There is a second session to go over another 4 hours of things that will include safety.
I second albondigas- a crockpot to reheat will work just fine! (And who doesn't like meatballs - some gravy, some bread.....)I have the Santiago cake stencils so that's another idea. I do have one student with a walnut allergy, but she did not say anything about almonds. Phil also likes cream cheese and Quince jelly although I am not a fan.
This all needs to be something I can make the night before and then transport to school. Caldo G. I can put in a crock pot. I love patatas bravas, but they aren't that great unless they are hot and fresh. I can heat the tortilla in a microwave as we have one at school.
Ummm . . . caldo Gallego is usually made with some kind of meat, such as chorizo and ham . . . Delicious, but not vegetarian.Tarta de Santiago would work too unless you worry about nut allergies. I bought a stencil to use for the cross in Santiago, but before I had it, I had drawn my own cardboard facsimile and just sprinkled the sugar over it.
I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t love Caldo Gallego, so that’s a good choice too, I think.
And I think that looks like a very decent tortilla!
Yes, I love it, too!I vote for the amazing hard crusted bread especially with the Caldo Gallego as well as Gazpacho.
... recently I have found almond flour in both Walmart and Sam's club- not sure why it has become so more common....
Also because it's a pantry staple for the keto diet.Probably because of the increase in people looking for gluten free flour.
I chose the apple cheesecake as my dessert option on the menu del dia I had in Madrid two days ago. It was delicious and looked very much like the one you made but there were no almonds on top...yum! I think your recipe will be a winner.View attachment 159031
