Tapas: Delicious little plates to share from Spain

Bring a little taste of Spain to your table with this collection of irresistible small plates to enjoy with drinks.

Served in bars all over Spain, tapas are the ultimate in bar snacks. From a simple bowl of olives to a mouthwatering selection of seafood, there is always something for everyone. Tapas are great shared among friends, making them the perfect choice for party nibbles or as an accompaniment to pre-dinner drinks. You can also serve them as a convivial appetizer for sharing or cook a range of dishes to make a more substantial lunch or dinner.

Fish and Seafood are an essential part of any tapas menu and include delicious morsels such as Gambas al Ajillo (garlic shrimp) and Tigre Tapas (mussels in overcoats). No tapas selection is complete without traditional Meat and Poultry dishes, such as Cordero al Limón (lamb with lemon) and Chorizo al Vino (chorizo in red wine). Vegetables and Little Extras include classics such as Tortilla Española (Spanish omelet) and everyone’s favorite vegetarian tapas dish, Patatas Bravas (potatoes in tomato sauce). There are also essential accompaniments like Alioli and Almendras Saladas (salted almonds). (more…)
