Questions & Replies

Red wine is a bit general, could you be a little more specific. Thanks!

I could not stop eating this! The crispy chorizo with the sauce was out of this world! You definitely need some crusty bread for soaking up the sauce because it's that good. Can't wait to make it again!

Very unique and tasty tapas. Perfect with a robust red wine or hearty beer. Seemed a little one dimensional, but in conjunction with other appetizers would probably hold its own. Pretty, tasty, extravagant with toasted bread. Bread is a MUST here.
