Recipes!!! Oink...

We have had some good dishes here. Tapas are small plates; you can also order 1/2 "raciones" or full rations. We tend to order a number of plates and share. The best so far include:

tiny frieswith garlic aioli sauce

baby spinach, sliced apples, sliced mushroom, thick sliced parmesan, and shrimp salad with a HOT sweet mustard vinegarette dressing - blew out the sinuses and woke us up!

spirelli pasta, tomato chunks, black sliced olives, mixed greens, feta chunks, and again a sweet mustard vinagrette, not as hot as above, but same thing - very sweet

grilled pork tenderloin (not too well done so moist) with a carmelized onion, raisin, pine nut comfit, all served over chopped red potatoes which were likely grilled and then "toasted" under the broiler

3 cheese rissoto- gorgonzola, emmental and ?

red potato chunks "larded" with either thin leek/scallion greens or green peppers and then roasted till soft in the middle and crusty on the outside. Served with salty au jus sauce made with the potato liquid (to thicken it - maybe minimal cornstarch?) and a touch of whiskey

jamon iberico with the pigs raised on a pure acorn diet "5 Js" ...EVEN THE FAT WAS DELICIOUS!

We've stuck with the house red and white wines...never a disappointment yet!
