Spanish Pinchitos
Pinchitos is a popular tapas dish. Tapas are the Spanish interpretation of appetizers, often accompanied by an alcoholic drink, such as beer, wine, or cider. Add baked cubed potatoes, with an optional typical Spanish lemon-garlic-mayonnaise or spicy tomato sauce. Pickled onions or other vegetables complete the perfect blend of delightful flavors.
