Tapas evening.

So, I’m visiting some friends down in Co Cork at the moment.  Beautiful part of the country.  I love it down here.  The weather is not the best at the moment, but it’s not a problem.

Some great food, great friends and great conversation.......all we need to a nice relaxing catch up.

On Tuesday, we had a tapas evening with my dips and sauces I prepared.  We had a good old natter with some chilled white wine and yummy tapas which included:

·        Olives

·        Brie cheese

·        My prepared Hummus, Pesto and Olive Tapenade

·        Spicy chorizo chunks

·        Corn on the cob

·        French baguette, crackers and crisps

·        Dips and oils

I love all the garlic flavours and oils with these tapas.  Always a great combination.  Served with a nice chilled glass of white wine........Mmm

I also made some of my truffle bites.  I tried out a few new flavours and coatings.  Included here are:

·        Mint

·        Walnut and cranberry

·        Baileys and white chocolate chip

The coatings are varied:

·        White and milk chocolate

·        Ground almond

·        Chopped walnut

·        Coconut flakes

I have to say, the star of the show was the baileys and white chocolate chip with white chocolate coating.  Yum yum!
