Cooking Competion No 36. "Tapas".

[TeeRev]

"Tapas".

Most of us have been to Spain and enjoyed these delicious dishes in some form or another, how many of us have made a serious attempt to create or cook our own? I have several times and would like to see more people do so.

Each entry should include a minimum of three different dishes with a maximum of five dishes allowed.

It would be good to see the dish name, recipe or ingredients listed along with a maximum of four photos including one of all the dishes together.

The competition starts now and ends at midnight on Sunday 22nd of June with voting to take place over the following week.

To try and promote fresh interest in the cooking competition I am personally offering a tapas food voucher to the value of 20.00 for the winner.

I will of course be entering myself but should I be lucky enough to win the prize will go to the second placed entrant.

Get cooking chaps!

That's a neat trick that could earn you a fortune on certain "niche" websites

+1

Although now that the pro is back amongst us, I don't fancy our chances.

It's tapas!

What an excellent theme Trev

Not one we have had before I don't think.

Where on a bit of a healthy eating mission at the moment so this should fit in quite well.

I'm looking forward to trying this one but does anyone know where I can buy Sobrasada in London? All I can find is on-line delivery.

If your not sure what it is then you must try it - soft chorizo you roast and then can spread on toast or whatever you like

[TeeRev]

Lovely stuff, first tasted that 40 odd years ago somewhere in the Balearics, not sure which island as I wasn't usually sure where I actually was in those days of alcohol, sex, drugs and rock and roll.

I don't live in London so haven't been there but I've heard of a shop called Brindisa in Borough Market, give them a try.

[jogon]

Much appreciated will try and pop in tomo.

[mattdaniels]

Brindisa is fab, nice place to eat. Just around the corner from the shop.

not seen in UK

salting Balcalao

/and have a "collection" from Bristol airport on 26th, hopefully a decent ham (this time!!)

[TeeRev]

Bacalao sounds good Tony, is the Jamon an Iberico or Serrano?

My menu is planned and I'm off to look for a nice big pulpo tomorrow.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Not doing very well at this are we.

[sidekickdmr]

No kitchen at the moment as Moving house this weekend, if we can extend it by a week I'll 100% put an entry in

[TeeRev]

When I set the dates I had no idea just how crazy busy I would be. I'm still hoping to do something this weekend but it's looking less and less likely as the week goes on so I'm more than happy to extend the comp for a couple of weeks and see how it's going, anyone disagree with that?

[sidekickdmr]

As above, suits me!

[mattdaniels]

• phew*

Was secretly hoping it might slip. What's the new end date?
