Our Spanish recipes category is inspired by the three incredible years we spent living in Spain—immersed in its rich culinary traditions, lively food culture, and regional specialties. This collection highlights classic and modern Spanish dishes with a special focus on recipes featuring beans, garbanzos (chickpeas), and other legumes that are essential to Spanish home cooking.

In Spain, beans are more than just a side dish—they’re the heart of comforting stews, tapas, and slow-cooked favorites. You’ll find recipes for chickpea-based dishes like cocido madrileño and garbanzos con espinacas, along with lentil soups, white bean salads, and hearty regional stews. These meals are deeply nourishing, budget-friendly, and full of flavor.

Drawing on our firsthand experiences across Spain—from Andalusia to the Basque Country—we’ve created approachable recipes that bring traditional flavors into your home kitchen. Whether you’re looking for a cozy one-pot meal or a vibrant plant-forward tapa, these Spanish bean recipes are rooted in culture and made for everyday cooking.

Let this collection transport you to a rustic Spanish kitchen, where legumes simmer low and slow, and every bite tells a story of heritage, comfort, and flavor.
