]]> Tapas is a popular choice for a shared meal. Originating in Spain, tapas consists of a selection of small dishes that are shared between people. It’s ideal for enjoying lots of different tastes within the same meal and is perfect for hosting a dinner party. If you’re looking for ideas, then here are some authentic Spanish dishes that are commonly included in tapas.

Patatas Bravas

This classic dish is ultimately fried potato cubes served with “brave” sauce, which is spicy and creamy and pairs perfectly with the tender potato chunks. This one is easy to make and usually very popular.

Calamari

These deep-fried squid rings are usually served with lemon juice to squeeze over for a fresh, seafood taste with a super satisfying bite.

Croquetas

Another popular potato dish, these are deep-fried balls consisting of mashed potato and a variety of fillings, including fish, meat, or mushrooms. 

Chicken Wings

A classic addition to a tapas spread is some tasty chicken wings. These can be coated in a crispy batter or marinated in a spicy sauce and bring some super tasty protein to the table.

]]> Seafood is rather controversial as a category of food. For some people, it’s unfathomable how anyone enjoys it, and the mere thought of seafood dishes is very unappetizing. But for many others, it’s seen as a delicacy and one of the best meal options. If the latter sounds like you, then make sure to try these seafood dishes.

Prawn Linguine

A classic comfort meal is creamy pasta, and this dish is a perfect example of that. Lovely linguine in a rich, creamy sauce with prawns is a great combination of tasty, soulful ingredients. 

Paella

This hearty Spanish dish uses huge paella pans to fry rice with plenty of flavoring and traditionally with chicken, prawns, and mussels. The savory, spiced rice makes for the perfect base for these tasty proteins.

Seafood Ramen

This is a great way to enjoy seafood, as the subtle but wonderful flavors of the ramen allow the seafood to take center stage. Often you’ll find this dish with mussels, squid, and shrimp as well as plenty of fresh greens. 

Calamari

The only thing better than seafood is deep-fried seafood. Calamari is deep-fried squid rings, which have the most amazing taste and texture. Perfect dipped in aioli and served with fries and a fresh green salad.

]]> We love all things garlic, and now, we’re introducing you to garlic confit. “Confit” refers to cooking something by submerging it in fat or oil—usually this method is used to cook meat, and results in tender, falling apart in your mouth results you can’t get enough of. It turns out that you can do the same with garlic.

By submerging garlic in oil with herbs, the cloves lose their bitterness and instead become sweet and tender, while the oil itself gets beautifully infused with the taste of garlic. And luckily, it’s super easy to make.

How to Make It

Peel four heads of garlic and combine with one and a half cups of olive oil in a saucepan. You can add herbs of your choice—we like adding thyme and even some chiles to give it a little kick. Add some salt and simmer the mixture on the stove for about 45 minutes, and you’ll be left with tender cloves. Let it cool and transfer to a clear glass jar.

How to Use It

There are endless ways to use this. You can add the cloves themselves to butter and mash together to get a delicious garlic butter perfect for bread or chicken. Use the oil for cooking vegetables or even toasting your sandwich. Put in dips or add to mashed potatoes—really anywhere that needs a bit of extra garlic.

Pizza is already stunning on its own. But when a few roasted beets are thrown into the homemade crust to give it a gorgeous magenta color and earthy flavor, you just won’t be able to take your eyes off it.

Brownies

It’s not only salty recipes that really benefit from beets. Brownies made with beets are fudgy and full of healthy nutrients. Your kids won’t taste the difference!

Not like if we really need a special occasion to eat pancakes, but let’s use this day to try different and tasty pancakes recipes.

Invite your friends over and try these different pancakes ideas that will blow your mind!

Pancakes are very easy to make and include only three ingredients; eggs, flour and milk. Regular pancakes are delicious but let’s add a little twist just for that special occasion. You can make them salty or sweet. Here’s a variety of both.

1. Oreo’s Pancakes
All you need to do is add crushed oreo’s and cacao powder in your mix. Easy and you will love it!

View this post on Instagram

O R E O P A N C A K E S . . For breakfast I made this tower of oreo pancakes (I didn't eat all of them, i promise lol). I used oat flour, almond milk and bananas to make the pancake batter. I drizzled some chocolate sauce on top which I made by mixing cocoa powder with some almond milk and a dash of agave syrup . Honestly, this tasted sooo good. I wish i got a pic of the inside as the oreos gave the pancakes this cool marbled effect, but I was too hungry lol. . The pancake batter without the oreos is #glutenfree and #refinedsugarfree. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vegan #plantbased #pancakes #veganpancakes #oreo #vegansofinstagram #vegansoflondon #oreopancakes #food #foodporn #veganfoodporn #sweet #breakfast #chocolate #freefrom #nutfree #whatveganseat #dessert #foods4thought #foodoftheday #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #veganfoodshare #pancaketower

4. Apple Pancake
Mix Sugar and Cinnamon in a bowl, separate. Heat your pan with butter, poor the apples, with the cinnamon and sugar on top and cook until the apples have softened and caramelised. When it’s done, remove from heat. Poor the pancake mixture over your apples and put it in the oven for 15 min.
