Tapas is a traditional Spanish cuisine style that came about because of how late the Spanish eat, making them prefer having a smaller meal rather than something big right before bed. There is so much flexibility when making tapas and it is a great theme to have for a party or just a simple night in. Here are some tapas recipe inspiration to help guide you next time you’re craving something small but delicious.
Pan y Tomate
Spain is known for their utilization of tomatoes in both simple and sophisticated ways. This dish is common in many regions of Southern Spain and comes together very quickly. All you need to do is take a box grater and grate a few tomatoes. Then, rub garlic on the bread to get the essence. Drizzle over olive oil and bake for a few minutes. Spoon on the tomato pulp and season with salt and you’re done!
