A big bowl of guacamole went down a treat.
Followed by sweet little bowls of gazpacho. It is summer here, so chilled soup is a good thing! (This was the one thing that had a little bit of capsicum in it, so I was glad for the small serve).
Creamy Mushroom Croquettes were delicious.
Plus a delicious platter of Patatas Bravas. These potatoes were cooked for ages, and they were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus the tomato sauce went so well.
Plus a big bowl of Spinach and Chickpeas.
It was a fantastic spread!
It was a lovely dinner. Afterwards we stayed up watching The Emperor's New Groove, which is them best Disney movie. It was so great having them visit, and I look forward to them coming again!

That's quite a spread! I'd make a beeline for the mushroom croquettes.
ReplyDeleteI was very excited about them. We had leftovers, and they were so good as snacks cold from the fridge the next day.
DeleteWow what a fantastic meal! I adore spanish food, especially gazpacho (which doesn’t seem to be spicy usually ) and that spinach chickpea dish is a longtime favorite. Very sweet that they made the whole meal vegan :))

I don't eat Spanish food that often, so it was lovely. Especially as these were her family recipes.
DeleteOMG that meal looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteThat was so thoughtful of your brother and his partner to make everything vegan and super mild. It looks like such a delicious spread! It sounds like a fun night.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely evening of family and food. I wish I could see him more often.
DeleteEverything looks so incredible!! I have always wanted to try and make patatas bravas but for some reason I'm scared I'll fail.
ReplyDeleteIt was so sweet of them to make everything vegan and mild!!
Beautiful Luna!!!!
I have made a Tofu Bravas dish before, but the sauce tasted funny. But this sauce was amazing. Seems like the secret to getting the potatoes as well is a large pan, so much oil, and a lot of cooking time. Not deep frying, just slow pan frying.
DeleteOh wow, what a beautiful feast!! I could eat a whole bowl of guacamole, it is so good. I've heard about patatas bravas but have never tried it but I feel like I have to now! It sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnd how nice to be able to see your brother and to get to meet his partner! Luna is too adorable! I love her name too :)
Everything took a bit longer than expected to make, except the guacamole, so we ate so much of it while we were waiting. It was fun to chat and snack and buzz around the kitchen. Avocado forever!
DeleteWow, everything looks amazing; what a great spread!
ReplyDeleteCute little Luna!
She's such a cutie!
DeleteSuch a yummy selection of food!
