Spanish Appetizer suggestions
I agree, tortilla de patatas is fantastic. Any pinchos (pintxos in Basque) would be perfect. You could make pinchos with, on top of a bit of bread, stuffed peppers, tomatoes, cheese, caramelized onions. You could also get bacalao, which is salted cod, and it's served with tomatoes and bread. I also adore chorizo, which you can cook slowly in wine or even apple cider. Empanadas are great too, they are like the Indian samosas. Scallops are always fabulous if you marinate them in white wine or brandy and olive oil. And don't forget the manchego cheese!
Halibut wrapped in bacon and proscuitto?
Thank you so much everyone! Sorry I couldn't reply sooner. I will give some of these suggestions a try and then I will let you know how this turned out! And no, I did mean proscuitto, not pancetta. I think it's very possible the fish was wrapped in bacon and cooked and then the proscuitto was wrapped around after.
Thank you for your kind opinion, HagaanDazs, but the dish was delicious and used both bacon and proscuitto, both which were wrapped around the halibut. It was a success at her household.
Halibut wrapped in bacon and proscuitto?
My friend told me about a meal she had not long ago, she said she had halibut that was wrapped in both bacon and proscuitto. I was too busy drooling over that idea that I forgot to ask for a recipe. I have been looking, but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know how to make this successfully? Thanks!
