A "pinchos" evening

Ski, the great traveler and friend, is leaving for another trip. This time, an impressive one; to Alaska! So we got together and wished him the best for this trip while we remain here, green with envy!

To organize dinner with these friends is easy. You name it, you have it! So I started suggesting that I'd make a few varied "pinchos", Sole added delicious "croquettes", Teresa a zucchini and onion "tortilla", Maite a delicious "jabugo" ham, Asun brought varied Italian ice-cream and Ski a delicious coconut cake.

I'm sure you would have liked to join...

It was a wonderful evening and even though we tried to solve the world, our suggestions never reach the top. Cava made a nice effect along the evening with our delicious food.



Pinchos are easy to make and you can recycle anything you may have in the fridge. Just use your imagination. You can use all sorts of bread but the best one is the baguette. I'll tell you how I prepared these:





1. Pincho "caprese"

A slice of bread, basil leaves, a slice of tomato, mozarella, black olive. Hold everything with a toothpick. Pour the sauce: olive oil, balsamic vinegar and finely chopped basil. Spread some sea salt flakes on top.

2. Hummus

You can make hummus with boiled chickpeas, yogurt, olive oil, garlic, mint, cilantro, cumin, black and chili pepper and a pinch of sea salt.

Spread a paste on the bread and cut one black olive in two halves. Decorate and add the sauce: Chopped parsley and olive oil.

3. Tuna

A slice of bread, a mixture of chunky tuna and mayonnaise. Put a fine slice of red roasted pepper and a green olive on top. Hold with a toothpick.

4. Artichokes

Blend canned artichokes and two anchovies with mayonnaise, add pepper, sea salt and spread on bread. Decorate with an anchovy and a slice of fried or roasted green pepper.

5. Sea food

Mix boiled eggs, mayonnaise, boiled fish, pepper, sea salt. Put the mixture inside an endive leaf and decorate with shrimp.

"Pinchos" are delicious and appetizing. You can invent all sorts of shapes and colours.



It was an enjoyable evening. We all look happy and amazed, don't we?
