Tempting Tapas
Tapas have been the rage in the culinary world for quite some time. While the trend of enjoying “small plates” and sharing them with your table at a restaurant is fun, these nibbles often have little to do with the small plates originating in Spain.
The menu starts with a delicious Chickpea Salad. Three savory small plates follow: Tiny Meatballs in Saffron Sauce, Garlic-Braised Chicken Wings and Shrimp with Romesco Sauce. For dessert, enjoy Oranges in Red Wine Syrup.
