Five Favourite Recipes from The Complete Spanish Cookbook by Jacki Passmore

This is not a vegetarian cookbook, but most of the recipes I have cooked from it involve medleys of Mediterranean vegetables, although if you want to split hairs, courgettes, tomatoes and peppers came originally from the New World.

My top 5 recipes:

1. Samfaina - Catalan Braised Vegetable Sauce.
red peppers, onions, aubergines, zucchini, tomatoes.
