Easy Tapas options for a date night at home
Tapas is a great option for a date night at home. These small, shareable plates are ideal for a relaxed atmosphere where food and conversation can be combined. At Attractive Partners, we love easy tapas dishes that never fail to impress our guests.
Pan con Tomate (Bread with Tomato): This rustic dish takes just minutes to prepare. Crusty bread is rubbed with garlic and topped with fresh tomato and a drizzle of olive oil. It's a fantastic base for other toppings like jamon (cured ham) or manchego cheese.
Marinated Olives: Olives are a must-have on any tapas table. Take store-bought olives to the next level with a quick marinade of herbs, garlic, and citrus zest.
Bacon-Wrapped Dates: A sweet and savoury treat. Dates are stuffed with creamy goat’s cheese and wrapped in crispy bacon. A drizzle of honey takes them over the top.
Blistered Shishito Peppers: These fun little peppers are easy to prepare and addictive! Simply blister them in a hot pan with olive oil until tender crisp. Some are mild, while others pack a surprising heat, making them a fun tastebud adventure.
Spanish Tortilla: This savoury egg and potato frittata is a delicious hot dish. While it requires a few more steps than some other options, it's surprisingly easy to make.
To drink:
- Sangria: A refreshing, and festive punch made with red wine, fruit, and brandy. Perfect for a summer gathering.
- Spanish Cava: This sparkling wine is a great choice for any tapas spread. It's light and bubbly, making it a great accompaniment to a variety of flavours.
With a little creativity, you can create a Spanish themed evening that will wow your date. Enjoy!
