I’m writing this from Janet’s notes as I wasn’t there, but having briefly Zoomed into the evening from the north of England, it had seemed a lovely relaxed night outside on a warm summer evening, very suitable for tapas.

Gazpacho purchased from Waitrose – Janet

Orange and fennel salad – Debrah

This was from the Easy Book of Tapas. A lovely fresh salad, perfect with a barbecue.

Russian salad – Tracey

This was from the M and S tapas book. It used mixed veg, and Tracey made her own mayo. It had capers, gherkins, olives, potatoes and tuna with oil (otherwise the salad would be a bit dry). Needed to use waxy potatoes.

Garlic mushrooms – Karen

This was easy, using mushrooms, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. It was easy to make, but there were only 4 each, as Karen had eaten a lot while making it….

Albonigas meatballs – Julie

These were made with pork. The original sauce was tasteless, so Julie binned it and used a rich sauce recipe from James Martin instead.

Authentic seafood paella – Sue

This was time consuming and fiddly. Sue used red onion instead of white. Stock from a stock cube, and used monkfish, prawns, mussels and smoked paprika.

Camino cake – Justine

Really easy recipe. It should have had orange, but she used pink grapefruit. Then Tom ate her eggs so she bought some from Best One which were out of date. Gluten free with no flour or butter. It brought back lots of memories for Karen who cycled the trail, and Tracey who holidayed there. Delicious.
