Quick n Easy Tapas
We have enjoyed making and eating tapas this month and when we returned from Cambria, we wanted to finish with a quick and easy tapas for which we already had the ingredients. When we looked around the old larder, we found some Garrotxa, a Spanish goat's milk cheese that we like. We also had one length of Chorizo Picante made by Palacios, a local bagette, a jar of regular capers and hidden in the recesses of the frig......a jar of FiordiFruta, organic fig spread.
Perfect!...Tower, we have lift off.... So after tossing the various possibilities around, we decided to toast slices of baguette and spread the fig preserves on them. Then skewer pieces of cheese and chorizo with a caper.
While not fancy and definitely not a meal sized snack, this California - Spanish tapas fusion was a good appetizer before we sat down for dinner.
So what did we learn from this experience concentrating on tapas? As we did the research, shopped for the ingredients and prepared our dishes, we discovered so much that all we can do is touch on a few things:
Tapas fits into a lifestyle that dines rather late in the evening but we can fit it into our lifestyle by either having tapas for lunch, dinner or as appetizers. Spanish goat's milk cheeses are delicious and, as the goats are moved from low pasture to higher pastures, the nature of the cheeses become similar to Swiss cheese. The Spanish people have created many delicious foods that we have just begun to appreciate. All in all, we had a great experience that we intend to pursue. Thank you Azlin and Foodies+.
Bon appetit,
