We are desperately trying to hold on to the holiday vibes here and what better way than to recreate your favourite holiday dishes at home. For me that has to be a bowl full of sizzling gambas pil pil (prawns in garlic) a tasty Spanish dish that I love as it is full of flavour and mopping up the juices with chunks of bread turn it from a starter into a hearty meal. Mmmm, it is delicious. Best served in a terracotta dish for that traditional feeling.
