Tapa Specific Dietary Requirement Menus

Transcription

1 Tapa Specific Dietary Requirement Menus We realised some time ago that Tapas lends itself very well to those with specific dietary requirements & that with only a small amount of change to how we prepared some of our dishes we could make most of our menu accessible to as many people as possible. We re really proud of our ability to deal with dietary requirements & as such if there is anything through out the menu that you are unsure of, please just ask. Similarly, we ve worked really hard training all our staff to be as knowledgeable as they can possibly be about all our dishes, but, if they don t know something it only takes a quick question to the Chef to find a definitive answer. Contents Vegan Menu: Pages 1 &2 Menu for those who are Gluten Intolerant: Pages 3, 4, 5 & 6 Menu for those who are Lactose Intolerant: Pages 7, 8, 9 &10

5 Tapas para Todos! Although a pre-requisite for tables of eight or more people, our Large Party Tapas para Todos! Menu also offers brilliant value to smaller groups ( just saying!) Starting with Artisanal Spanish Bread & Dips & Air Cured Spanish Meats, each person in your party can choose Two Tapas dishes each that we ll serve accompanied by sharing plates of our most popular tapas- Berenjenas con Miel, Patatas Bravas y Alioli & Ensalada Verde.

Carnes/ Meat Pollo al Infierno Boneless Chicken Thighs ( Easily the Best Part of the Chicken in Our Opinion!) Baked Slowly in a Chorizo Enriched, Piquant Tomato Sauce Carnes Ibericas/ Meat Specially Sourced from Spain Tortilla con Sobrasada Presa # If Iberico is to Pork what Wagyu is to Beef, then Presa is your Fillet Steak! Ok, so, it s not from the corresponding part of the animal- Presa sits beneath the shoulder & loin of the Iberian Black Pig- but, by allowing the Pig to forage freely amongst the dehesas (the forests of acorns) that surround Salamanca, we re afforded a stunning piece of meat that is- not only- tender & well marbled, but, also wonderfully nutty ( from all those acorns, see!) & exactly like a piece of red meat!# So with this in mind we Griddle it only to Medium Rare- at pink the flavour of the meat is just AMAZING- & Glaze it with a Red Wine Reduction Secreto 6.75 Traditional Spanish Potato & Onion Omelette, but, with the Added Swagger of Layers of Munar Sobrasada (a Soft, Pâté Style of Chorizo from Mallorca) & La Tradición Semi Cured Manchego Cheese Morcilla de Burgos 6.75 # Morcilla is Spanish Black Pudding, but, Morcilla de Burgos is quite different from the Black Pudding you re used to! Our Morcilla is from Rios, a family owned business since 1930 & is, unusually, enriched with rice & cumin, that makes for an incredibly subtle Black Pudding that is a must- even if you re normally a bit hesitant about trying Black Pudding for the first time!# Anyway, back to the dish We Pan Fry our Morcilla, Rest it on a Bed of Caramelised Red Onions, Top it with Fried Quail s Eggs & Dust with La Dalia Pimientón de La Vera (Spicy Paprika) Carrilladas Cheeks of Iberian Black Pig, Braised Slowly in Red Wine & Adorned with Flakes of Almonds #So if Presa is akin to Fillet Steak, it s sister cut Secreto would be your Rib- Eye. It sits just behind Presa on the Iberian Black Pig & has much more marbling, but, this nutty fat only serves to create an incredible, almost buttery texture to the meat when Griddled.# To Compliment this we adorn our Secreto with Romesco Sauce (an Almond & Red Pepper Sauce from Tarragona, Catalonia) & a Quenelle of Homemade Mushroom & Sherry Paté Please turn over for more dishes 4
