Spain recipes
Today I chose spain for letter S as you all know I and the Bm members are exploring  around the world cuisine this month and we have landed on letter S today. I chose a random country for S as spain today I actually wanted to make a meal for spain But unfortunately today I was held up with other works so I chose two dessert from spain. Spani is also called kingdom of spain located on the peninsula in Europe. Spanish cuisine is divided into some typical dishes and cuisine.I have already made an gazpazho from Andalusian cuisine. This time I chose 2 simple and very fav among Spanish from all regions.
Arroz con leche is a typical and traditional rice pudding made in spain . It is luscious and so rich and can be serve warm or cold. The lemon zest and butter makes it so flavorful. These are great for breakfast too, In asturias – northern spain they serve this pudding with caramel crust like a caramel pudding.  Hot chocolate is my all time fav in a cold snowy day , the spanish version calls for corn flour and milk this was so yummy Mine turned a little thick when cooled as it had corn flour in them. Have them hot , if you need add extra milk if needed.  I thoroughly enjoyed these two sweet drink and pudding from spain.  I actually loved exploring a varities of rice pudding around the world   I will make a post on this Rice pudding around the world some time. Here are My two recipes from spain..

    I am loving the desserts. Chocolate is an all time favourite. Simple yet sinful and rich.
    The rice pudding sounds like a kheer version and looks amazing with that cinnamon on top.
    Beautifully presented dishes.

    Both the desserts are mouthwatering! I like the orange mini casserole you served the rice pudding in. You know what, when I first started looking for recipes for this marathon, all I wanted to do was desserts. The desserts from various countries were appetizing to me than any other course. It was very difficult to hold back as I love desserts. I am totally loving all the desserts you are making from around the world.
