Top 5 recipes on Expatica Spain A collection of the top five recipes written by Expatica Spain bloggers and cuisine gurus, from holiday specials to impressive chicken roasts.

Trolling around Dining & Cuisine for winter recipes? Expatica has made a short list of the top recipe dishes that will simmer dinners and desserts into a cozy experience. Easy to prep, cook, bake and broil, put the Spanish rep of fantastic flavor to the test with one of these below recommendations:

Pimping the pollo: Chicken asado
Roasting a whole chicken is always easier to do than it seems, and will always impress a dinner party. This recipe is so simple, no measuring if ingredients is required! The side "veggie mash" is a tastey bonus, and the know-how on chicken roasting is a skill well worth trying out in the future.

Party pleaser: How to make empanadillas
The chef said it best: "Empanadillas are the must-haves snack food when you hold a party in Spain." This recipe calls for tuna, though we encourage you to get creative with your fillings! From sweet to savory, these two-bite pastry puffs work wonders and are always in demand. Already a pro? Super size it (see below).

Super size tradition: Pork Empanada a la Galiciana
You know it's a good recipe when your mouth begins to water by just reading the ingredients. Let's face it, Spain is known to whip up some master pork dishes with simple produce and prep work. Empanadas are the way to go for delicious filling, pastries and a fine-looking display all wrapped up in one.


Fig it up Christmas receipe: Higos al brandy
To sweeting the top five picks, this figs in brandy recipe does the trick and adds a bit of festive holiday as well. It's inventive, impressive, and yet keeps the procedure fun and simple. As a dessert, or just as a way to put those figs to good use, this Christmas pudding alternative is for the sweet tooths.

Go nuts Christmas recipe: Polvorones
We at Expatica love cookies, especially eating them. Plus, simple cookie recipes are great for the holidays (and for anytime really). And since it's the season for sugar sweets, and this easy cookie recipe is for almond lovers. It's a facelift from the average butter cookie, with a Spanish touch to keep the baking cultural.
