Tapas
 

I keep thinking that the "Death of the Tape" thread is actually called "Death of the Tapas", which made me think that we haven't had enough food-related threads these days.

I love Tapas, patatas bravas being my favourite.

(By the way, Tapas recipes would be much appreciated)

patatas bravas!! I think I have a recipe at home...but not sure....that's wife country.

(WITH A BUCKET OF SANGRIA)

mezze anyone???

Ha! What recipe? They're diced potatos that you either deep-fry, or roast in the oven. Nothing to it really.

Every tapas bar should serve Queso frito (Fried Mahon, Tetilla Cheese).

Fried Cheese with Shallot Dressing (Queso Frito AlinAdo con Salsa de Escalona)

Dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
4 teaspoons minced shallots
2 teaspoons minced parsley
1/2 teaspoons small whole or chopped large capers
Cheese:
1/2 pound fairly mild melting cheese, such as Spanish Tetilla, Mahon, or goat cheese 1/2-inch thick
Flour, for dusting
2 eggs, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water
Breadcrumbs
Oil, for frying

In a cup combine the dressing ingredients. Dust the cheese pieces with flour, dip in the egg, then in the crumbs. (May be prepared ahead.) In a skillet heat the oil at least 1/2-inch deep to about 380 degrees F and fry the cheese quickly until golden on both sides. Or, better use a deep-fryer. Drain. Sprinkle the dressing over the cheese and serve immediately.

all this has made me very hungry indeed.

Chorizo sausage is truly moreish, so it gets my vote.

I didn't know their were different kinds of tapas.
It's great nonetheless.

i voted chorizo but i could easily settle for any of the others

anybody can fry up a potato. the secret is in the sauce!

I too love tapas.

We've got an excellent tapas bar that has an art gallery/performance space in its basement. Fun place to go, if you're ever in Omaha...
