SNDC is Not a Dinner Club

Me & Ben this week?

by admin on Sep.21, 2008, under Uncategorized

I think Ben and I are hosting again this week. 1201 NE 21st.

Are folks up for a slightly crazy idea?  Five Spanish tapas dishes, inspired by this menu, which has recipes for a lot of farmers market stuff that I wouldn’t know what to do with otherwise. Everyone is OK with eggs, right? This looks crazy, but only the eggs take much time and effort – and they cook faster than, say, tamales.

Here’s my suggested menu:
Pimenton Padron  -  Roasted Patron peppers in olive oil with sea salt, aka Spanish roulette. About every 5th roasted pepper is SPICY!
Plato de melon – ripe melon with lime
Pan al horno – warmed bread with olive oil.
Tortilla espanola – Spanish potato omelet
Tomates asados -Smoked roma tomatoes (over charcoal, instead of wood chips, probably, though)

Ben and I already have most of the ingredients. Here’s what we still need:
A big loaf of airy bread – maybe even two.
Fresh parsley
Drinks – anything other than water that you might enjoy.

Optional -
Lime – I have lime juice at home, but I bet a fresh lime would be really good with the melon instead.
Vegan sour cream
parmesan

Also optional – If any of the other simple tapas dishes (like fresh grapes or garlic hummous with bread) appeal to you, feel free to bring them. But I think we should have plenty of food.

    Also, my cell phone is DEAD, so if you need to reach me you are best off commenting here or e-mailing me. Ben’s cell is 503-679-6509, but I don’t know if his has any juice either.

    A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, I’ll get.
