Spanish olive oil tortas are a round, sweet crisp bread, with the spices and flavors differing depending upon which region they come from. The ones that I'm sharing today hail from the town of Castilleja de la Cuesta in the province of Seville, and are flavored with sesame and anise.

Moroccan Caliente Recipe – Kalinti
Caliente typically features a base of chickpea flour, water, and various spices, creating a batter that is poured onto a hot griddle or oven tray. The result is a golden, crispy-edged chickpea flan that is topped with olive oil, cumin, paprika, and herbs, infusing the flan with a burst of Moroccan flavours. Enjoying a warm slice of this stuff from a food trolly guy in the streets of Morocco, you can expect to get a variety of accompaniments such as spicy harissa & olives. It can be served as it is on a plate to spoon out like a tart or as a sandwich filling, making it a go-to option for those seeking a quick, satisfying bite on the go.

Spanish Christmas Shortbread | Mantecados de Navidad
Mantecados de Navidad are a Spanish cookie made with toasted flour, almonds, cinnamon, and lard, instead of butter. Often described as Spanish shortbread, I'd say these are a class of cookies unto themselves! They're so unique with the their nutty taste that comes from the toasted flour, and their sandy (yet moist) texture melts in your mouth.
