Neven Maguire returns to RTÉ One tonight with a brand new episode of his Spanish Food Trail, where our Cavan chef makes marmalade for the first time.

In tonight's episode, our host guides us through Seville, the capital of Andalusia, where he discovers many of the things that make the city famous ranging from oranges to oxtail.

Just outside the city, Neven visits an organic farm which produces Seville oranges, and he makes marmalade for the first time.

You can get the recipe for Neven's Seafood Stew with Seville Oranges here.

Stepping away from the tourist's trail, Neven wanders the Triana district of Seville - the edgier part of the city, which is famous for its bullfighters and flamenco dancers.

Here, Neven meets Christina Heeren, an American woman who set up a school for flamenco dancers, guitarists and singers. 

Seville’s bullring is where the bullfighting season starts each year on Easter Sunday and the meat from the bulls killed in the bullring is sought after by local restaurants. 

Neven is shown how to make a traditional Sevillian dish, Oxtail Stew by the head chef in the Escuela de Hosteleria de Sevilla. However, they do not use meat from the bullring. 

Watch Neven's Spanish Food Trails every Tuesday at 8.30pm on RTÉ One or catch up on RTÉ Player.
