Last night, my parents bought a load of nice food and we made mini dishes for tea to eat tapas style. We got a few things pre-prepared including some portabello mushrooms stuffed with aubergine, cheese and breadcrumbs, and also served up some beef tomatoes with basil and mozzarella, and a variety of olives of course!
We made patatas bravas by adding chilli powder to passata and pouring over roasted diced potatoes, and also made a marinade out of lime and chilli to use on some king prawns which we placed on skewers and fried. We used the same sauce but with added herbs in to cook some lamb meatballs in as well.
After going to a dinner party and being served some canapés that were Spanish inspired, I decided to recreate them myself at home for the occasion. I took baby tomatoes and sliced them into halves, before putting a dollop of pesto on top, and then a little slice of goat's cheese, all held together by a wooden toothpick; making them perfect for sharing.
It was all delicious (even if I do say so myself) and despite there only being three of us there were no leftovers, including the red wine, which complimented the food very nicely!
