Onions, peppers and courgettes often get the calamari-style treatment without the seafood.<\/p>\n Asparagus Revueltos<\/strong><\/p>\n Asparagus is also a favourite Spanish dish and can be served \u201crevueltos\u201d with scrambled eggs, or with a poached egg or Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n Gazpacho<\/strong><\/p>\n Who would have thought Spain\u2019s most famous soup would be vegetarian-friendly?

Usually served fried in thin slices with a drizzle of honey over the top it\u2019s truly delicious.<\/p>\n Ratatouille or Pisto<\/strong><\/p>\n Roasted vegetables in olive oil, with onion, pepper, eggplant and tomato in a chunky and tasty sauce.
