A few years ago, I visited Madrid, Spain where I had a wonderful week amongst my friends. One of the things that I liked most were the nights we went out de marcha or “to march.” This meant to go out and sample appetizers, have dinner and go dancing in one of the bars. When I say go out for an appetizer, it’s really what they call tapear or “go for tapas”- a culinary tradition of Spain. One evening we went to a tapas bar where a deliciosa sangria was served alongside an assorted tapas of olives, meat and chorizo. These beautiful memories of Spain were my inspiration for creating this garlic and chorizo dish. Its sabroso and easy to make- just make sure to find a quality Spanish chorizo to start.
