Only a few months ago I came across a Tapas cookbook, not that Tapas was something new to me, especially when living in London. There's a very nice tapas bar/restaurant in Greenwich. Where you can also drink unlimited Coronas or Del Sol with lime pieces squeezed through.
Like meze, tapas are better enjoyed in a restaurant, for their obvious characteristic: many small plates served straight from the kitchen fresh. But..after trying many from the tapas cookbook, I found my true favourite: the different types of enchiladas. Unless you are spanish you won't know what that is. Enchiladas are little pies, usually made with puff pastry.
My favourite one is the ones made with goats cheese, quires ather esos?
Puff pastry
Goats cheese
Garlic
Challot
Smoked Paprika
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Melted butter.
They are very easy to make. Roll out the puff pastry and use a glass to cut through lots of circles. Put a small pan with a bit of olive oil on medium heat. Crush a couple of cloves of garlic and put in the heated pan. Cut a shallot into cubes and put that in the pan too. Fry for 2 mins. Empty in a bowl. Put the goats cheese in there too. A good pinch of paprika will give it the Spanish flavour. You can add salt and pepper but only a bit for sweeter taste. Mix the ingredients in the bowl using a fork. Then, using a spoon, pick out some of the cheese mix and place it on the buttered rounds of pastry. Pick one side of the round and close the mixture in. Using a fork seal the semi- circle of pie, by pressing the fork on thepastry semi circled edge.
Rub butter on a roasting tin and place your enchiladas with a bit of space in between them. Bake in the oven for 20 mins, keep an eye for the enchiladas not to burn.
take out of the oven and let cool a bit. Open ur corona and enjoy as a..small snack..or a Tapa xx
Cooking and improving recipies,has been my passion for decades now. I have decided to create this blog so more people can eat these as they are masterpieces of the original dish. They are all tried and adored in my dining room by friends and relatives, even my mother in law.The stories in this blog are out of my life and nothing in here is intended to make money. I would love your comments though as this is the ultimate reward I can receive in my effort to e-feed you!
