5 EASY TAPAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the smashed garlic in a skillet with the oil over medium heat. Sauté for 10 minutes, squishing the garlic down to squeeze juice out as it cooks, until garlic is golden brown. Then remove and discard garlic.
• Sprinkle prawns with salt and pepper. Turn stove up to high. When oil is hot, add prawns and cook for 2 minutes (for medium prawns) or until charred and just cooked. Just before the end, add the minced garlic and quickly saute, then transfer prawns into serving bowl.
• Sprinkle with parsley and red pepper flakes if using.
• Halve or quarter the mushrooms, depending on size.
• Follow Garlic Prawn steps, except cook mushrooms instead of prawns. Cook the mushrooms until they are golden.
• Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook Chorizo until golden on both sides, then transfer to serving bowl, scraping in oil in the skillet.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO TAPAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet or cazuela, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and saute the sliced chorizo until it begins to brown around the edges, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized around the edges and softened somewhat, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of the sherry and cook for 1 minute. Add the shrimp, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sherry and 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and remainder of the salt and pepper; stir to combine and remove from the heat. Serve immediately, on small plates with any accumulated cooking juices spooned over the top. Pass the bread at the table.

CHORIZO IN RED WINE TAPAS

Steps:

• Simply cut the chorizo sausage into 1cm discs, put it in a small saucepan, pour over just enough wine to cover & put the lid on. Bring to the boil & simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat, cool, leave for 24 hours them simply re-heat.
• You can also make this much healthier by removing the orange fat from the chorizo before you re-heat.
• I serve this with crusty garlic bread & other tapas - if you have any wine liquid remaining, it's a fab base for a tomato sauce for potatoes to go with your tapas.
• Enjoy - this really is so simple, yet so tasty!

SPICY CHORIZO SAUSAGE RECIPE WITH HONEY AND RED WINE

Steps:

• Cut the chorizo sausage into bite size pieces.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Once hot, fry the chorizo pieces until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain the chorizo and set aside.
• In the same frying pan, cook on a low heat the chopped garlic, onions and bay leaf until soft, it takes about 5 minutes.
• Return the chorizo sausage to the frying pan and mix well. Increase the heat and pour in the red wine. Bring the red wine to the boil and allow the liquid to reduce by half. This will concentrate the flavours and make the chorizo sausage take on the red wine flavour. It takes about 5 minutes.
• After this time, add the honey and reduce the liquid for a further 5 minutes until the wine mix becomes like thick syrup.
• Serve with crusty bread, a sprinkle of chopped flat leaf parsley and a glass of red wine...of course.
