I recently attended the birthday party for my Spanish friend who challenged us to a Tapas contest. Clever way to get the best of the best and a lovely idea indeed. Many of the carefully prepared delights however, did not make it to judging time as they were snapped up as quickly as they arrived.
My personal favourite were the Artichoke Rice Cakes that my friend Margo brought. They held the texture and consistency of a potatoe patty, but with the rich flavour of artichokes. Although she cannot take credit for the recipe, she certainly deserves kudos for their preparation. I highly recommend you try it. http://www.spain-recipes.com/artichoke-rice-cakes-manchego.html
