TIPS & TRICKS to make these FRITTERS: Once you shred your sweet potato, it is so IMPORTANT to squeeze out as much as possible of the water in the sweet potato. I added mine to a cheesecloth and twisted the water out over a sink. This is what gives these fritters that incredible crispy texture. Some of you might be thinking ¨geez….I don´t have 30 minutes to make breakfast!¨. SOLUTION: Make the fritter batter the night before and add it to the fridge. In the morning fry up your fritters and whala, breakfast is served in a jiffy.

From Albert Brevia:
The way I served these 10 delicious tapas was over a piece of bread, like they do in tapas bars in Spain. So the bread is not included as an ingredient, neither is salt or pepper. Just make sure to use baguette bread, it makes all the difference in the flavor.

TIPS & TRICKS to make this recipe: As I stated earlier, make sure to use baguette bread, I cut mine into 1-inch thick diagonal slices and lightly toasted them. The Manchego cheese I used was a mild one, but you can use a stronger cheese if you prefer. I also used an Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in some of the tapas. The one I used was from Apollo, an absolute flavor bomb that is seriously becoming my go-to EVOO. The ingredients below are to make 3 servings from each tapa, so if you need more, just double up on the ingredients.

In this post, I will show you how to make the most Garlicky Spanish Garlic Shrimp ever! Seriously folk´s, this dish has so much garlic, it´s gonna blow your mind. This tapas dish is loaded with flavors, super easy to make and done in 20 minutes.

To make this dish I used frozen shrimp I thawed out, just to make things easier and cheaper. The secret when using frozen shrimp that you thaw out? Make sure you pat them completely dry with paper towels. This removes any of the excess moisture in the shrimp, giving them a beautiful texture and flavor.

For this recipe I used raw blanched marcona almonds, but you can use any type of almonds that you like. However, I do recommend you use marcona almonds. They have a heart-like shape to them and offer an incredible flavor & texture. What really takes these roasted almonds to the next-level is the extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil is what cooks the almonds through while they are roasting and gives them that incredible flavor. For this recipe I used an Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Apollo Olive Oil. This is their new ¨Miller´s Favorite¨. Basically the best EVOO I have tasted from Apollo. If you´re a fan of EVOO like me, you need this olive oil in your life.

Visit any top-tier restaurant in the Spanish Mediterranean coast and you will find this Spanish Salad with Oranges, Anchovies & Tuna. It´s loaded with amazing flavors, beyond easy to make and done within a couple of minutes. This is the kind of salad that truly speaks the Spanish Mediterranean culture.  My favorite part about this salad, besides the simplicty of it, is the explosion of flavors it has. It´s sweet & savory, plus the combination of textures between the oranges, anchovies and tuna is absolutely brilliant.
