Tapas Recipes
 Vegetarian
tapas can be eaten at any time of the day. Traditional Spanish tapas
was eaten between meals with drinks to help workers get to the next
major meal. There are many regional specialities based on the produce
of the region, but I have tried to bring together a selection of
vegetarian recipes that can be produced with easily found ingredients.
Nowadays,
tapas can be eaten as a starter to a meal or a selection of tapas can
make up an entire meal. Of course, you can still eat tapas with drinks
in the traditional way.
Some of the recipes need
to be freshly made and served immediately but other can be prepared
ahead of time and brought out when they are needed. Some, like these
Marinaded Mushrooms,
are a mixture of pre-prepared ingredients with
freshly cooked elements. In this case the freshly cooked item is Cheese
Pinchos an ideal base for several of our
recipes.
An
Italian take on the idea of snacks to eat with a drinks, Bruschetta
earns it place on these pages because it tastes good. The best
bruschetta we have ever had was not in Italy but in a hotel in Canada
where we had just arrived after a long flight, jet-lagged and hungry,
but that is another story.
We have been looking
for a nice vegetarian pate for quite a while and have tried a number of
recipes, some of which were OK but this Olive and Tomato Pate
stood out
as being full of flavour and great to eat with a glass of full-bodied
red wine.
Another pate with a more subtle flavour
that tastes good on toast or biscuits and is suitable for vegans is our
Vegetarian Pate.
This is made from mushrooms, walnuts and onion and
contains no animal products at all. We tried this out on a
non-vegetarian friend who promptly asked for the recipe and kept some
for the next day.
Our next idea comes from the
Middle-East although there are similar recipes in many parts of the
world. Falafel
make a delicious vegetarian tapas and can be eated with
dips or by themslves.
