Classic European Flavours
European street food is a mix of unique ingredients and traditional recipes. Here are some of the most popular flavours you'll find in European street food:
Garlic
Garlic is often added to dishes for an extra kick of flavour. It's especially popular in Italian cuisine, where it's used to season pasta sauces, pizzas and more.
Cheese
Cheese is one of the most widely-used ingredients in European cuisine. From cheddar to brie, there are countless varieties that can be used in a variety of dishes.
Herbs
Herbs are essential to many European dishes. Parsley, oregano and basil are commonly used to season meats, vegetables and sauces.
Mustard
Mustard is used to season many different types of food, including sausages, sandwiches and soups. It adds a bright flavour without being too spicy.
These are just a few of the flavours you'll find in European street food. Our team have put together 3 delicious recipes for European street food dishes using Uren's range of products.

3) Spanish Tortilla
The Spanish tortilla is a popular tapas or street food in not just Spain but the whole world. There are a many different variations of this dish however originally it is believed that it was made with just potato and egg and possibly onion (although traditionalists argue against onion). Tortilla translates to “little cake” and the layers of potato are meant to represent the layers in a cake hence the name Tortilla.
There are many different theories as to how the dish was invented and a link below discusses this however I like to believe it was created by a housewife in Navarra who whipped up the dish for a visiting general as that is all they had available in the household. The general enjoyed it that much they then popularised it.
Here is a link to the history of Spanish tortilla below.
