Tapas Party! 4 Tapas Recipes – 1 Pan!

I love a tapas party!  To me, it’s some of my favorite Mediterranean Diet recipes out there!

Tapas are small plates, kind’ve like appetizers originating from Spain.  Every Mediterranean country has a version of tapas.  These small plates of food can be eaten as an appetizer before a meal, 1 or 2 can be eaten as a snack or you can try 4 or 5 different tapas as a meal.  The most fun is to go to a tapas restaurant with a large crowd of people, order up a couple of pitchers of sangria and order all the tapas on the menu!

Tapas are also great to make for a party!  If you prep all the ingredients ahead of time you can impress your guests by making one plate of tapas after another.  If you have the party in the kitchen, you can cook while everyone enjoys your succulent creations.

Check out my video below showing you how to make 4 tapas in 1 pan!  I prepare the following recipes:   Red Peppers with Capers, Sizzling Lemon Garlic Shrimp, Spicy Rosemary Olives and Sauteed Swiss Chard with Garlic.

“This program is a way of life, one which I have adopted successfully, and more importantly one which I have sustained for over one year now. My weight remains steady at 160 pounds (down from 216). My energy levels rival that of someone 20 years younger than me (I’m now 57), enabling me to exercise in any way that I desire, from lifting weights to intense cardio sessions.”

“After completing my 10-week program, I had a regularly-scheduled appointment with my doctor. Because my cholesterol has always been above the normal range (229 last year) I requested that she test it again this year. I’m happy to report that my total cholesterol dropped to 169, which is in the normal range, and all my other numbers improved as well.”
