152 - Dates Almonds Bacon [Fechas Almendras Tocino]

Sounded fun and time/patience was limited!

The Verdict

I fancied something sweet and this did not disappoint. The saltiness of the bacon cut through the dates making it slightly like a meatier slated caramel. This is definitely getting made again!

Taste: 3/5 Definite Yum
Time: 3/5 7 mins
Visual: 3/5 Bit Ugly
Magic: 4/5 Salty Sweet

The Mission!!

I love tapas.

Being indecisive and curious It's possibly my favourite type of eating (that... and sushi, which is similar in many ways). Having spent time in both Spain and Greece where tapas is inherent in every restaurant, bar and sometimes clubs I'm always disappointed at the lack of decent and variations of tapas at home. I also really love cooking and yet find it hard to squeeze in time to do so when working.

I've been meaning to find a way around this. On my birthday a magical friend gave me a wonderful book described as "the definitive guide to tapas". It has approx. 250 recipes and so the challenge began.The great thing about the book is that its recipes range from a simple sauce and salad dressing with warm bread to a paella that takes hours to cook. This way I can balance the dish with the time I have, hopefully making this challenge achievable and interesting.

One type of tapas for 250 days.
