Make Spanish lemon garlic chicken

Mmmm … I just love this recipe. It’s so tasty, and easy-to-make.

Plus, it will go with just about anything.

Chicken’s a relatively economical dish in most countries.

Being white meat means it’s healthy, plus you can easily pull off all the skin before cooking, leaving the meat fat free.

The following recipe includes two products for which Spain is famous – garlic (anti-oxidant) and lemon (vitamin C).

Don’t include any white pith in the lemon zest, as this will make the dish taste bitter.

how To Make Spanish Seafood Paella

What’s the key to making a successful paella?…

After listening to Spanish friends and neighbors and experimenting for over 20 years, I reckon it boils down to the following points …

Use a good-quality, home-made stock if time permits.

Use bomba rice.

Allow rice grains to cook in the oil for a couple of minutes before adding the stock.

Use crumbled saffron strands to bestow the famous yellow color rather than cheaper, powdered colorants, as saffron will also impart a wonderful aroma.

So, do you now feel ready to embark on paella-making?

You’ll discover many different types of paella – chicken, rabbit, meat, vegetarian, or a mixture. So, first, you’ll need decide what type you prefer.

Mystery and Gastronomy in the province of Malaga in Facebook

“The Costa del Sol tourist board has started to publish through its Facebook page about the mysteries that exist in the province of Malaga, with the intention to attract tourists who love riddles and mysteries. This new content is aimed at increasing visits to the interior of the province by tourists who may be interested in mysterious issues, or simply add new places of interest during their visit to the Costa del Sol and its municipalities.”
This way you can visit the crypt of the Galvez in Macharaviaya, the circular cemetery in Sayalonga, the Cueva del Tesoro in Rincón de la Victoria or the idol of Almargen, as sites that contain mysteries that are part of the popular culture of Malaga.

This promotion strategy has been used very successfully in other cities like Dublin and Edinburgh and has the support of Malaga journalist Jose Manuel Frías specializing in paranormal topics.

Another topic on which focuses the Tourist Board is the local cuisine, with gastronomic news, product routes, recommended wines and gastronomic events in the province.

This section will also include the collaboration with Michelin-starred restaurants in the province providing innovative recipes for Málaga cuisine created by their renowned chefs

Learning Spanish: Begin By Listening – Part 5

To maximize our brain’s ability to store visual and auditory impressions in the target language, we must constantly, each day, create an atmosphere in which we are hearing and seeing the language we seek to acquire in an immersion situation. This is not only possible to do in a country in which the target language is not spoken but is being accomplished all the time. Mexicans living and working in the Mexican resort cities have learned English and continue to learn it without the advantage of living in America or in any country in which English is the main language. Though extremely advantageous, it is not absolutely required to live in the country where the language you seek to acquire is the predominate language.

Learning Spanish: Begin By Listening – Part 3

The way in which adult Africans, and I believe many of the adults I’ve met in the resort areas of Mexico, have developed a high degree of spoken fluency is the same way in which we learned our native tongue as children—Passive Listening. If ever there was a “natural way” to learn a second language, this is it. If ever there was a way that one should use as the primary step to second language acquisition, this is it.

Passive listening would be the direct opposite of how we are taught to approach the learning of math, history, or science. It is not the cramming, drilling, cold memorizing of facts, or mindless repetition of vocabulary words. It is, rather, the silent assimilation and consequent registering of sights, noises, smells, and action pictures within the new language. It is something that goes on even when a conscious effort is not being made to pay attention to things within the language. I know of one language school in the States that uses the Learnables products with children and suggests playing the tapes while the kids play and sleep.
