Leek-celeriac-Salad CanapésThinly sliced leek and grated celeriac, precooked, drained and combined with a hard boiled, chopped egg and some home made mayonnaise (organic eggs or really excellent free range eggs are here essential). Seasoned a gusto and finally added some chopped Lomo ham (it's a typical Spanish ham, otherwise use whatever available). We discovered this tapas in Bilbao, where it was represented in some way or another in almost every pintxo bar. Funnily enough, we can't find it anywhere else, even while researching the most popular tapas, so it seems to be a Bilbao-speciality maybe?
Chorizo-Tapas with Tallegio and Caramelised Red Onion Chilli Relish
This tapas is optional, resulting from the fact that we simply had leftovers from the week, like the Spanish Chorizo sausage and some Tallegio cheese (it's an Italian hard cheese, preferably also use the Spanish Manchego or some Swiss mountain cheese)
The red onion is caramelised in a pan with some brown sugar, water and a pinch of salt (low heat!). Later add some fresh thyme, dried hot chilli flakes (or finely chopped fresh hot chilli) and simmer together until it becomes a 'relish-consistency'.
