Spanish food (ingredients, chicken, sugar, ginger)

[casper324]

My daughter is studying abroad in Spain for a year and I want to send here off with a party. Figuring about 40 people, kids and adults.........
I want a Spanish food theme and easy enough to make for a large group. OK the kicker (and is going to be a real problem for the DD) is she doesn't eat seafood or pork which are the main ingredients in most recipes I find for Spanish food. Any suggestions?

How about empanada's?

you need to go to recipes.com or allrecipes.com. There are plenty of spanish foods that do not have pork or seafood like arroz con pollo (chicken and rice)

Gazpacho

Gazpacho is a fresh summer soup served cold. The soup includes cucumber, red bell pepper, tomato, and red onion. These vegetables are roughly chopped and then put through a food processor separately. Combine the vegetables with garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper, and chill for a refreshing treat.

Sangria

Sangria, a traditional Spanish wine-based beverage, was introduced in the U.S. in 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is based on a claret wine punch served in Europe for hundreds of years. For flavor, brandy and fruit can be added. Most people think of red wine sangria, but some sangria is made with white wine.

To make a basic sangria, pour a bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Rioja work well) into a pitcher, and squeeze lemon and orange juice into the wine. Add a couple of tablespoons of sugar and a shot of brandy. You can also add ginger ale or club soda. Sangria is sometimes served with sliced fruit stirred in, such as peaches, apples, strawberries or raspberries.
