With the arrival of nice weather, enjoying a picnic has become one of the favorite activities for many people. To make this experience easier, Viena Capellanes, a renowned Madrid-based chain with over 150 years of history, offers a variety of gourmet options and simple recipes that allow you to plan a hassle-free picnic.
From its 26 stores in Madrid, as well as through its website and the My Viena app, the brand provides a wide selection of breakfast and brunch baskets, snack packs, and ready-to-take products. Their offerings include canapés, Spanish omelette, cured meats, salads, sandwiches, and artisanal pastries, all made with the quality and tradition that distinguish Viena Capellanes.
Lucía Álvarez, director of the brand’s Cooking and Pastry School, suggests an easy recipe for a mortadella sandwich with walnut pesto. This delicious sandwich can be prepared the afternoon before and is perfect for enjoying the next day. To make it, crush walnuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and olive oil until you achieve a fragrant pesto. Then, spread this mixture on sliced bread, add Italian mortadella and shavings of Parmesan, and cut into triangles.
Master pastry chef Francisco Somoza also shares sweet ideas to complement the picnic. He suggests fruit skewers with chocolate and a peach and coconut smoothie. The skewers are made with non-oxidizing fruits, while the chocolate dip is prepared with milk, cream, and sugar, served in a jar for dipping the fruits. The smoothie, on the other hand, is made by blending frozen peach, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, and a pinch of cinnamon, keeping it cool in a thermos.
Among the recommendations from Viena Capellanes are options that store well without refrigeration, such as cured meats, cheeses, salads, hummus, and nuts. Additionally, the importance of having portable coolers to keep food fresh is emphasized.
To avoid any mishaps, it is suggested to plan for lighting if the picnic extends into the evening, bring ambient music, remember essential items like a tablecloth, utensils, and sunscreen, and always ensure to include fresh water and refreshing drinks. With these tips, the picnic experience will be truly enjoyable and easy to savor.
