The second course to the table is traditionally served after the soup – in other words, the main ones are the “second” dishes that are familiar to us, which are the central element of the meal. Most often, the main second course is prepared from meat, poultry, fish and seafood, to which cooked or raw vegetables, legumes, cereals, pasta and mushrooms are necessarily served as a side dish.
Fish or meat main dishes are the most satisfying, nutritious and large in volume. For every day, modern chefs, as a rule, serve simple main dishes that are easy to prepare.

The pintxos morunos is a Moorish dish of Spanish cuisine, like kebabs. It represents the slices of meat cooked on the coals. There is nothing complicated about it, and the trick lies in the spices. In Africa (where the Moors came from), it is prepared mainly from mutton. In Spain – most often from pork or chicken. I suggest you try the tuna version. But you can take the marinade from this recipe as a basis and use any other meat.
Gnocchi – ancient Italian dumplings. Spread in Europe have been since the expansion of the Roman Empire. But then they were made from special types of flour. In its modern form (a mixture of flour and potatoes) appeared only in the 1800s. Along with the gnocchi recipe, I will show you several ways to serve them: with tomato sauce, with pesto and with cheese sauce.

And the most important advantage of this dish is that you practically do not need to follow its preparation.
