We are known for our all-natural, sustainably-created, all handmade finger foods from Spanish, American, Latin, European, and Asian cuisines; and for the last year or so clients and colleagues have urged us to come up with an all-tapas menu. We have now done so, with an emphasis on both traditional and nouvelle Spanish tapas (nouvelle, not oxygen-ified).
Since our Executive Chef/Owner Jesús Lumbreras-Calvo is a native of Madrid (born in the lovely neighborhood of Chamberí/Ríos Rosas, as he likes to say), and is passionate about tapas, this makes sense!
As we have worked on our new all-tapas menu, we have concentrated on dishes that preserve Spanish cooking traditions while appealing to contemporary tastes. The past few years have seen such a wealth of great twists on and updates of traditional tapas food, anyway.
One of the most important uses for our new all-tapas menu will be--and this is where several clients' requests for this menu comes in--to add interest and coolness to a cocktail party or any gathering where finger foods will be served. A theme in catering in recent years has been finger foods all or mostly from one region, such as Asian or Mexican foods. And now, Spanish tapas.
Add to the mix the cool little tapas plates and some great Spanish wines and/or sherries, and you have a fabulously cool gathering!
Or how about an interactive Spanish chef party where guests learn from the chef about tapas as they are eating? Done, too.
Some of the tapas in our new menu are:
- Gambas en salsa roja/Sizzling Chili Shrimp
- Champiñones rellenos de fuet/Catalán Sausage-Filled Mushrooms
- Banderillas de emparedados/Spanish Croque Monsieur Sandwich and Cherry Tomato Skewers
- Pinchitos morunos con trio de aliolis/Pork Mini Skewers with Trio of Aliolis
