Spanish tapas are a tasty dish, and if you haven’t tried them yet, then Glebe’s latest restaurant is the perfect place to do so. But what exactly are Spanish tapas? They’re a medley of small dishes that come in many different flavors. A Spanish tapa menu will usually include Patatas Bravas, Croquetas de Jamon y Queso, Gambone’s con Alioli (pig trotters with garlic mayonnaise), or tortilla española (a Spanish Omelette).
This article will explore three Spanish tapas dishes:
1) Patatas Bravas
These Spanish potatoes are covered in a spicy tomato sauce and sprinkled with parsley. Patatas bravas are definitely one of my favorite Spanish tapas dishes. The sauce is flavorful without being too spicy, and the potatoes are perfectly crispy. If you’re looking for something hearty but not too filling, then patatas bravas should be your go-to Spanish tapas dish.
2) Croquetas de Jamon y Queso
Another Spanish tapas dish that I love is croquetas de Jamon y queso, or ham and cheese croquettes. The outside of the croquette is a crispy breadcrumb shell, while inside, there’s a creamy, cheesy mixture that melts in your mouth as soon as you take a bite.
3) Gambas al Ajillo
Gambas al ajillo, or shrimp with garlic, is a Spanish tapas dish that’s perfect for seafood lovers. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful garlic sauce until they’re nice and juicy, then served hot straight from the pan. If you’re looking for something light but tasty, then gambas al ajillo is the Spanish tapas for you.
