Tapas with Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onions

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Tapas! Such an utterly fantastic concept. In Spain, tradition has it that restaurants offer multiple small plates or medium sized appetizer bites on their daily menu. The deal is, you go in the restaurant, Bistro, Cafe’, order a beverage such as Cerveza ( beer),Vino or a soft drink. Then you visit with friends or strangers while nibbling on a small savory bit of unctuous delight. Then you move on to another restaurant or Bistro and repeat the process. Usually one or two small plates at a time until you have had your fill. Tapas are usually not sweet but rather a precursor for the evening meal  which may not happen until 10 pm! When you enter the bar/ restaurant, a plate of slightly salty mixed Spanish olives is set in front of you. Snack on them as you peruse the Tapas menu and prepare to enjoy an out of this world delicious delight! The cost is nominal depending on what you ordered, but 1.50€ is pretty much the standard. Depending on your appetite, 3 Tapas could be your meal for the evening! But I saw some big boys packing away 8-10 Tapas at a time!

Here is another Tapas favorite of mine. It was so delicious that I had to come home and re create it! Truly, I am sorry, but there is no way to get around caramelizing except by being Sloow and steady.

5 Ingredients and you’re good to go! That’s it! Really simple, easy and out of this world delicious!

Ingredients

Tapas with Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onions

Crisp toasted Baguette with perfectly caramelized onions. Topped with tangy Goat Cheese and drizzled with a tiny bit of honey. Just heaven on a Tapas plate! This recipe is for 3 servings of 2 Tapas a piece. Please....make as many as you like! All you need is a whole bunch of caramelized onions and a Baguette and you're good to go! All right...making caramelized onions is a royal pain in the onion, but NOTHING is sweeter or worth your time.
