The Spanish Spud!

Well, come on, what do you expect an Irishwoman in Spain to cook for Tapas! Here in Spain, and in particular Granada, it' s free tapa with every alcoholic drink, which means if you' re hungry you drink a lot more than you planned to! Our local bar will give you a different one every time, ranging from Longaniza (chewy spicy cooked sausage) to Calamari, and a particularly good stew with chick peas. I'll ask Antonio for the recipe for that and put it on here at a later date.

So on with the humble potato, I said a couple of posts ago we would delve into a tapas recipe or two, this is a favourite, so easy and suits any visiting vegetarians......

New Potatoes With Spicy Sauce

You'll need the following:
SMALL BAG OF NEW POTATOES
3 GARLIC CLOVES CHOPPED
1 TABLESPOON PAPRIKA
SLURP OF OLIVE OIL
SEASALT
SLOSH OF SHERRY VINEGAR
2 DRIED RED CHILLIS

So easy! cook the spuds til tender, put aside.
Bash together the chillis paprika and garlic, add salt to taste, add the vinegar slowly, finally drizzle in the olive oil.
Put the potatoes in warm serving dishes, little individual terracotta ones look best, either pour the sauce over, warmed or cold, and give everyone a litle toothpick to eat with, less washing up!

How easy was that?!

More tapas recipes regularly, I think so, don' t you?
