In an attempt to try and recreate the tapas and the vibe we enjoyed on our trip to Barcelona last year, I decided to have a tapas night last friday. The sun was shining, the temperature was actually warm and there was something in the breeze that just said, you should be on a balcony drinking Sangria!
Apparently the Sangria we had in Barcelona restaurants was for the touristas, but I don’t care… it was so tasty, and I was totally in the mood for some hot music, great food and something cool to drink.
Tapas Menu
Pintxos: Salmon & cucumber and Meat & cheese
- Patas bravas
- Some kind of bean salad I concoted (no I don’t think it was Spanish, but it sort of had that creamy quality of their “Russian salads” that we had in Barcelona)
- Classic Tortilla
- Prawns in garlic sauce
I did have help with the recipes. I found a tapas site with loads of great recipes. The recipes for the classic tortilla, prawns in garlic sauce and sauce for the patatas bravas are all from here. They have tons of other recipes and I am just waiting for tapas night to come around again to try more!
