Sweet Heat Round up Tapas

Another month of Sweet Heat Challenge is over and it s time for the round up.  I enjoyed seeing the different Tapas recipes and so many of them reminded me of places where Id eaten similar dishes.  I hope you enjoy them too.


Fiona, at London Unattached, made Gambas pil pil as part of a Tapas menu for a special dinner.  This takes me back to last family holiday I went on with my parents to Spain, where we had Gambas cooked in salt on a griddle, I cant hear the word Gambas without being taken back there!
At 41 Feasts, Nicola is offering round the nibbles with our drinks.  Wow!  Id love to try these Sticky spicy almonds

Francesca from Checkys Kitchen made Calamari Fritos con Allioli (Crisp Deep-fried Squid with Garlic Mayonnaise)  This glorious dish reminds me of California where we ate deep fried squid in Cambria with our friends.



This was my own entry of Pepper and Tomato Salsa which is covering the meatballs.


TangoLikeRaindrop went for the classic Patatas Bravas after being inspired by lunch at a local eatery, doesnt that look good?


Over at A Village Pantry, Sheelagh went for something less traditional by making a Mexican Tortilla Lasagne  Ill certainly be bookmarking that recipe.



Sweet Heat Challenge owner, Lyndsey from Vanilla Clouds and Lemon Drops chose Patatas Bravas for her entry which she served as part of a Tapas Feast of  chorizo with Red Wine; Mini Lamb Meatballs with Romesco Sauce; Prawns with Sherry & Garlic; Baked Mozzarella Mushrooms; Spiced Almonds and Marinated Olives



and last but not least Corina at Searching for Spice has prepared a dish of Pinchos Morunos or Spanish Pork Skewers, a dish bursting with chilli and other spices.

Many thanks to all the entrants to the Sweet Heat Challenge #6, its been fun hosting.  If you want to join in next month make sure to check Vanilla Clouds and Lemon Drops on the 1st of April for Sweet Heat #7.
