Andorra

Andorra is a small, landlocked country nestled between Spain and France in Europe.  The cuisine is primarily Catalan (Spanish), with some French and Italian influences, according to Recipes Wiki.  For our Andorran meal, we decided to go with a combination of two dishes - Andorran River Trout, as well as Tinxat which, we hope, will compliment each other quite nicely.  Both of these recipes come straight off the Andorran tourism website

Andorran River Trout
River Trout, 1 large (12-16")
Flour
2 thick ham slices
Lard or oil (we use Olive Oil)
Salt 
Pepper

Season the trout and roll in the flour.  Fry in a hot frying pan with the oil or lard.  Once fried, remove to a plate.  Fry ham slightly in oil, then place ham over trout, and pour oil over trout and ham.

Hmm...I will have to include the recipe for Tinxat in the next entry, as for some reason, Andorra's tourism website went down.  Maybe they suspected?  A giant government conspiracy?  Who knows?
