Other Cuisines Marga’s Food marga@lacabe.com

Galician cuisine is characterized by an emphasis in fresh, high quality ingredients. Recipes are simple and let the ingredients shine. Meats are the centerpiece of most dishes, but there is relatively low use of animal fats. Gacilian style dishes are popular throughout Spain and the Americas, to where many Galicians emigrated to in the 19th and 20th century. The dishes I ended up making are among those I've heard of all my life but have never tried. This is what I cooked: Empanada Gallega Galician meat pie Merluza a la Gallega Hake Galician-style Tarta de Santiago St James Almond Cake
