CHICAGO, Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Toast the end of summer with an intimate dinner party for your nearest and dearest, using a spread of Spanish cuisine. In August, Spaniards can typically be found taking in the summer weather with lighter fare, in the form of tapas. The tapas experience may have its origins in Spain but it has been incorporated into social lifestyles around the globe for its sophistication and ability to provide a spread of multiple flavor profiles. The traditional food culture surrounding tapas encourages interaction and being with love ones, even if that looks different these days. Whether gathering digitally or in the comfort of your backyard, the Olive Oil World Tour is providing you with a variety of Spanish tapas recipes and cooking techniques that use olive oil:
Bravas Potatoes: Frying the potatoes in olive oil at a high temperature creates a crispy layer on the outside that guarantees a juicier and lighter fry
Olivier Salad: Emulsifying the olive oil into the mayonnaise provides unique flavors and aromas, with a special, velvety texture
Shrimp Croquettes: Stir frying the shrimp in their own juices and olive oil adds dimension to the protein; frying the finished product in olive oil effectively 'seals' the croquettes
Spanish Omelet: Using a double-frying method with olive oil helps maintains the flavors of the potatoes and onions, while giving the omelet its famous golden exterior
Frying, emulsifying, and stir-frying are just a few cooking techniques that incorporate olive oil. The versatile liquid gold can be used for elevating your hosting capabilities this summer – from conserving, braising, sautéing, basting, sousing, stewing, roasting, comfiting, and marinating, to raw preparations like salads and dressings. These traditional Spanish recipes that use European Olive Oil can be used to entertain your guests in an unexpected way that incorporates incredible flavors, healthy benefits, and extraordinary quality. Spanish tapas fill the world with love, and when made with European olive oils, can recreate a tasty Española evening in the comfort of our own homes.
