4 Simple SPANISH TAPAS Using Mushrooms
In this post, I will show you how to make 4 Simple SPANISH TAPAS Using Mushrooms. All four of these appetizers are made with the simplest ingredients, they´re all so easy to make and each one is done in 30 minutes or less.

Seriously folks, it does not get better than this. Basic ingredients, effort-less to make and guaranteed to make your taste buds dance. This is what Spanish food is all about.

I used button mushrooms to make all four of these recipes, but you can use whatever mushrooms you like. I also used a Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Very important to use a Spanish olive oil here, it´s what gives these tapas that authentic Spanish touch.

TIPS & TRICKS to make these Recipes: Remember to wash and pat dry your mushrooms before you start working on them. Two of the recipes call for the oven, I used the bake and broil option. If your oven can´t do both functions at the same time. Just bake them for the same time I´m cooking mine and then add them to the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in these Recipes:
MY SWISS DIAMON FRYING PANS
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SEA SALT
