Tapas: Simple Combinations, Striking Flavours

Synopsis

Carlos and Patrick believe that dishes should marry simple, fresh ingredients in an uncomplicated way. They discuss new recipes, deconstructing them if they have too many steps or ingredients and then rebuilding them with the main ingredient first, adding only what is essential, stopping when 'the dish feels like it has enough strength of flavour and can stand on its own'. And the recipes aren't all classically Spanish - they often borrow ingredients and combinations from other parts of the Mediterranean to create that perfect flavour. With dishes like Slow Roast Belly of Pork with Fennel Seeds and Garlic and Chargrilled Roasted Courgettes and Squash with Oregano, Chilli Oil and Goat's Cheese, this is tapas that you can recreate simply and quickly at home and share with family and friends.
