La Tienda
La Tienda was founded in the
earliest days of the Internet. It has steadily grown with over 700 items
to choose from. They have the broadest selection of quality Spanish food
and related products online.
Specialty food shops in New York will sell it but
for most people who want the true delicious taste of real chorizo
sausage, all you have to do is click on the chorizo link below. Be sure to browse the
entire
tienda.com website to see all of the wonderful products
from Spain they have to sell.
Here are a few of my favorite
products:
I first tasted Palacios chorizo
when I received a package that my sister had sent to me -
from Tienda.com. The taste of this brand of chorizo is
unlike any other. You can forget our domestic brands of chorizo
.... there is no comparison to the full flavored garlic and
paprika sausages from Spain.
One of my favorite ways to serve the Palacios
chorizo from Spain is to simply thinly slice, then sauté with thinly sliced
onion and chopped cilantro. No need for additional oil as the
sliced chorizo will render some
of its own fat and flavor and color the onions. Serve the chorizo
and onions as a tapas - along with thin slices of a baguette. The
perfect tapas with cocktails.

My favorite Paella recipe is Paella Valenciana
from Penelope Casas' cook book
"The Food and Wines of Spain".
By using a quality ingredient such as Palacios chorizo, this
perfect recipe makes the dish that much more authentic in taste.
This is truly an example of the difference it makes when you use
quality ingredients to cook with. |
