Tapas Appetizers And Spanish Menu Ideas

Tapas has to be the start to any Spanish menu ideas page and with these BBQ recipes you really can reproduce the taste of the Mediterranean in your backyard barbeque.

The word originates in the Tascas and Bodegas (bars, to you and me) of Andalucia, an extremely hot part of Spain. The word is derived from the verb tapar – to cover.

In the days before air conditioning, the men in the bar would be served with a small slice of bread to cover (tapar) the top of their sherry glass to keep the flies off. It then developed so that the bread was then served with a little something on top, and so became “una tapa” – a cover.

Here I am searching for Spanish recipe inspiration - it's a hard life!

The Spanish cook on a special type of grill called "la plancha" which is a bit like a hot plate. You can just improvise with your own grill, imagine you're in Spain and sit out on the patio with a glass of Rioja. Buen provecho!
