No Spanish dish captures the imagination more than paella. If you are not from Spain, everything about the dish feels exotic: the wide, shallow pan; the saffron-laced rice; the head-on shrimp, clams, and mussels. But to a Spaniard, it’s comfort food—a communal dish to be shared at family gatherings.
TARTA DE CHOCOLATE CON NUECES Y CAFÉ
Chocolate Tart with Walnuts and Coffee Cream
This crustless tart defies logic. It manages to taste as light like a sponge cake and as fudgy as a brownie all at the same time. The magical mixture, laced with toasted walnuts, spotlights the intensity of bittersweet chocolate, as do the chocolate-cherry glaze and coffee whipped cream.
TURRÓN
Hazelnut Cake with Caramelized Hazelnuts
Tis’ the season for Turrón! Chef Marc has transformed Spain’s iconic nut-studded honey nougat Christmas candy flavors into a tender, buttery, almond-hazelnut cake topped with freshly whipped vanilla cream, candied hazelnuts, a drizzle of honey and a final sprinkle of sea salt to perfectly balance the sweetness.
New Year’s Eve
Gather your friends for a Spanish New Year’s Eve at Boqueria as we ring in 2019 with 2 very different experiences; a seated family style tapas feast at Flatiron, Soho, UES & Dupont, or a cocktail party with passed hors d’oeuvres and tapas stations at West 40th.
CALABAZA CON SOBRASADA
Our favorite Thanksgiving recipe
Come fall, the markets in New York fill with a wide variety of squash. Chef Marc loves to roast them in the oven until tender and pair them with something salty or spicy to complement their natural sweetness.
