Spanish Tapas Recipe

Tapas are snacks, small delicious bites of food served at Tapas Bars and restaurants all over Spain. Inexpensive and with marvelous variety, Tapas are a good way to sample Spanish dishes without over filling your stomach or over emptying your pockets.

Origin

It is said that Tapas were created for the first time when the ailing King of Spain, Alfonso the 10th, was advised by his physicians that a cure would be found if instead of drinking wine by itself, between meals, he consumed a morsel of food with it. When the King had recovered from his illness, he wished to save the general populace from suffering in the same way and declared that from that time onwards, no alcohol could be served in the inns and taverns of Castile unless food was served with it.

Apart from the legend, there were purely practical reasons for the tradition of Tapas too. Farmers and labourers in rural Spain found Tapas a welcome addition to their work day, in that it gave them the energy to enable them to continue working throughout the day.

Tapas and Drink

Historically, wine was served with Tapas in winter to keep the body heated and ward off illness. In taverns, wine was served with a piece of bread with a topping of cheese or ham balanced on the mouth of the glass, to cover the wine and also to lessen the effects of the alcohol by absorbing it in the stomach. Wine is still the favoured accompaniment today but depending on the region and the season, sherry or cider might also be served with Tapas.

In summer, the drink often taken with Tapas in the hot regions of Southern Spain is gazpacho, a cold soup made primarily of tomatoes that is cooling and refreshing.

Tapas Recipes

Like the alcohol served with the Tapas, the Tapas itself can vary greatly from region to region and recipes have developed and changed throughout history. In medieval times, widespread poverty meant that the main ingredient of Tapas was bread, a cheap and readily available staple. Olives were also favoured whole or in a paste on bread, being plentiful all over Spain.

In wealthier times and today, meat (ham or sausage, smoked or fresh), fish and seafood (fried whitebait or calamari), dairy products (Spanish cheeses) and eggs (tortilla) are common constituents of Tapas. Vegetables are also important. Green beans in a garlicky tomato sauce are popular as are fried aubergine and potatoes.

Tapas have endured throughout the ages thanks to their combination of convenience, practicality and of course, their delicious taste.

Italian wedding soup with meatballs and Parmesan

I just attended a wedding in Italy and was a feast for the eyes and appetite. The tables were lavishly decorated with candied almonds everywhere. The dinner was a production and lasted for hours. During dinner, guests pay to dance with the bride, a beautiful blonde smile.

This custom dates back centuries. Apparently, donations help defray the expenses of marriage. Dance with the bride was also fun.

According to "Weddings Italy - Customs andTraditions, Past and Present ", an article on the website of Hudson Valley Weddings, many modern marriages are the continuation of effective action. And the checks are deposited in a satin bag for the bride. Food is the main objective of a psychological relationship between the family and guests. The many courses symbolize good luck.

I do not remember all the courses served at the wedding I attended, but I think it was the first starter, followed by soup, pasta, main course, and wedding cake.

AnitaLogan looks at marriage customs in his article, "The traditional Italian wedding", published on the website of Life in Italy. She says that the course may include ham and stuffed squid appetizer. This course may also include a variety of cheeses, olives and peppers. Subsequent courses include pasta, soups, salads, meat and fruit. "Nobody goes home hungry," he says, and "most people feel as if they could explode."

Wedding soup is a common path. You can buy canned soup in the store, but I think that tastes homemade and did not do. The ingredients are simple: meatballs, chicken broth, spinach, carrots, diced pasta and Parmesan cheese. Can I make small meatballs the size of a coin, that cooking fast and fun to eat. You can make smaller if you wish.

Kids will enjoy rolling balls and eat the soup if he helped make. It is not necessary to attend a wedding in Italy to enjoy this classic> Recipe. Serve the soup with crusty bread and a glass of wine and you feel as if I were at a party. This soup tastes better the next day.

90% ground beef 1 pound
1 large egg
Egg substitute 1 / 4 cup
1 / 4 cup Italian bread crumbs

1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon onion powder

2 cups fresh spinach, thinly sliced
3 / 4 cup dicedcarrots

Cut a meatball and make sure that the inside is no longer pink and cookedthrough. Ladle into cups and sprinkle with parmesan. Makes 8-10 servings.
