Tapas is the perfect food for a dinner party or family get-together, and the beauty is that you don’t need to go to a Spanish restaurant to get the full experience. Here are five tapas dishes that you can prepare from the comfort of your own kitchen.
Spicey Baked Cauliflower
Season chunks of cauliflower with salt, pepper, and paprika powder in a baking tray. Drizzle some olive oil, toss, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 F. Take the cauliflower out while still nice and juicy.
Frittata
This classic Spanish dish is a must if you want to create the full tapas experience. There are many different flavor combinations, but a popular favorite is made with cheese, chunks of chorizo, spinach, and potato slices.
Roast Chorizo
Simply chop chorizo sausages into inch-long chunks and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Don’t pierce the sausages when you put them in the oven, because this helps keep all the delicious juices inside.
Garlic Mushrooms
Fry sliced mushrooms on the grill with slices of garlic and olive oil. An effective way to ensure the garlic flavor is strong enough to shine through is to use garlic powder. This helps make sure each mushroom is covered.
Potato Wedges
Slice your potatoes into long chunks, leaving the skin on. Toss in olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and a touch of cinnamon before baking for 25 minutes at 350 F.
