Sunday Tapas Madness

Yesterday friends came over and I made a series of "small plate" things:

1. Sauteed almonds (BittmanWorld)
2. Roasted pimentos rolled around iberico cheese
3. Almond meatballs (BittmanWorld, but I used ground turkey and rolled the meatballs in bread crumbs instead of flour)
4. Roasted pepper timbales with garlic vinaigrette (see subsequent post)
5. Mushrooms with Sherry (BittmanWorld)
6. Garlic shrimp ("My favorite shrimp" from Bittman)
7. White beans with chorizo and braised garlic
8. Yellow rice (BittmanWorld)
9. Oranges with pickled onions (quick pickled with salt, lime, and fresh OJ)
10. Sherry-braised beef (see subsequent post)

Jon and Cati also brought a big green salad with celery root and an orange dressing.

Doing tapas is a fantabulous way to get to make loads of things at once. Hoo boy did we eat well. :-)
