Corazones de Alcachofa en Salsa de TomateBy tapasonline

Artichoke hearts and bacon in tomato sauce - you can, of course, use fresh artichokes, but canned or jarred ones are much quicker and easier and Spanish ones are of the highest quality. Simply omit the bacon to make the dish vegan.

Patatas al HojaldradasBy tapasonlineLayered potato ingots - you will need a mandoline to cut the potato slices as they need to be nearly translucent. You will also need a baking tray of suitable dimensions and to allow a depth of approximately 5cm/2” of potato plus ideally, a similar one to place on top.

Zanahorias AliñadasBy tapasonline

Marinated carrots - the humble carrot is normally thought of as an ingredient or an add-on. It is seldom elevated to centre-stage and rarely stands alone as in this dish, which is perfect for a spread of tapas.

Sobrasada VeganaBy tapasonlineSobrasada is a traditional Balearic soft pork sausage which is found in a multitude of recipes and this ingenious vegan substitute can be used in its place. Try it in croquettes, melted into soups and stews, or simply spread on lightly toasted bread.

Patatas con EspinacasBy tapasonlinePotatoes with spinach - this dish is an Andalusian classic. A healthy option and easy to prepare, but nonetheless really tasty and great as a vegetarian or vegan dish.

Ajo y PerejilBy tapasonlineGarlic and parsley - this simple but versatile sauce can be used as an ingredient, a marinade, dressing or even a dip. It will keep in a sealed container in the 'fridge for a few days.

Ensalada Tibia de FrijolesBy tapasonlineWarm bean salad - as you may imagine, there are many variations for this dish. Some recipes include chorizo, manchego cheese and various vegetable options. You can use any beans of your choice - butterbeans, cannellini, kidney beans etc. or you may be fortunate enough to have some genuine Spanish beans. If using dried beans, soak and cook them first.

Puerros con RomescoBy tapasonlineBaby leeks with romesco sauce - this is really a tapa version of the famous calçots which are served in Catalonia. You can buy ready-made romesco sauce from a specialist supplier or there is a recipe to make your own - just type "romesco" into the search bar.

Pimientos del Piquillo Rellenos de ArrozBy tapasonlineRoasted red peppers stuffed with red onion, pepper and tomato rice - this is one of those dishes which tastes much better than it looks. The saffron is optional really, but it does impart a nice flavour and colour. The peppers may be eaten hot or cold, in which case they can be made in advance. After cooling down, they should be kept in the ‘fridge until required.
