Tapas!
Spanish Tapas are very well known around the world.
The original Tapas were made out of bread and Spanish Sausage (chorizo) or Ibérico Ham. They were used to put on top of a cup of wine, that’s where the name comes from (the word “Tapa” means “Lid” or “Cover”). However, nowadays there are a lot of options.
The idea of this recipe is to create your own. You can mix your favorite ingredients and they make a great “self service” appetizer.
We hope you enjoy our Tapas!

Tapas x 2: garlic and ham mushrooms & spicy prawns Tapas x 2: garlic and ham mushrooms & spicy prawns
Because the only way for my family and me to travel this year is through food, I decided to take us on a trip to sunny Spain for dinner. I've never posted 2-for-1 recipes before, but did in this case because you never order just one tapa at a restaurant. Plus, they're both really quick and easy to prepare, not to mention delicious. Salud!

Baby Scallop Tapas Baby Scallop Tapas
I came up with this recipe when I was thinking of a dish with crispy-fried bacon (made from fatty pork belly). The crispy-fried bacon brings out the lovely flavor of the baby scallops, and they turned into a delicious appetizer. This is an easy recipe that you can make in just 10 minutes.1) Regarding the baby scallops, the smallest ones that are available from early autumn to early spring (fresh ones are tastier) are the best.2) Use fatty pork belly bacon to make crispy-fried bacon. (You have to choose it carefully as most of the bacon rashers you can find in Japan are made from lean pork leg meat.3 )You can brown the scallops nicely if you dust them with flour.

Potato Salad 🥔 !! (“Ensaladilla rusa”, Spanish Tapa 🇪🇸) Potato Salad 🥔 !! (“Ensaladilla rusa”, Spanish Tapa 🇪🇸)
Everyone knows that in Spain we have “tapas”, and it’s very common to get together with friends on the weekend to enjoy a few in the sun, sitting on a terrace. One of the most famous ones is “ensaladilla rusa” (Russian salad). Its name has nothing to do with Russia, but that’s what we call it! 🤷🏻♀️ It’s a very simple yet delicious potato salad.This one is made in the Murcian style, which comes from a province in Spain where they prepare it differently from the rest. They don’t add the vegetables that are common in other parts of Spain, and the potato is slightly mashed. It’s served with a special rosquilla (a type of crunchy breadstick) that holds up well against moisture, and they place an anchovy on top.I can’t find those rosquillas here, and anchovies are hard to come by, but just eating it already makes me feel at home!
