Top 10 Top 10 Tapas Preparation Styles
-
1. Pickled
Mixed in with olives, you’ll often find miniature gherkins, and possibly pearl onions, bits of garlic and hot peppers.
-
2. Marinated
Anchovies, sardines and seafood all come marinated. You’ll see them sitting out on bars, possibly under glass, steeped in olive oil.
-
3. Cured
The hams of Andalucía are lightly salted – mountain-cured are the best.
-
4. With Mayonnaise
Any dish can be an excuse to slather on the alioli . Two dishes that often have mayonnaise are patatas alioli and ensaladilla .
-
5. On Bread
Many tapas don’t really come to life until applied to bread. Some are served already perched on a slice.
-
6. Egg-Based
Eggs are essential in tortilla (see Tortilla Española and Patatas Bravas) or come hard-boiled as a garnish.
-
7. Fried
Almost anything you can think of will turn up frito (batter-fried or sautéed), from fish to mushrooms.
-
8. Grilled or Roasted
If you want to ingest a little less oil, a la plancha (grilled) and asado (roasted) are the options to choose.
-
9. Stewed
Estofado variations include fish, meat, potato and vegetables, often in tomato sauce.
-
10. A la Marinera
This technique, commonly used for fish and seafood, is similar to poaching and involves wine, garlic and parsley.
