Sprat tapas

Instructions:

• Let’s organize the sprats by placing each kind in a separate bowl. This will make it easier to prepare the different mixes.
• Next, let’s cut the tortilla into triangular pieces and cover a pan with them. Once done, we can put the pan in the oven, preheated to 150 degrees, for 20 minutes. This will make crispy tortilla chips that can be used as a side for the sprats.
• To prepare the sprats, we will need to prepare three different mixes. For the first mix, place the apple sprats in a bowl, add small cubes of cut pickles, finely chop the coriander, and mix together with the fish. You can also squeeze some lemon juice into the mix for a tangy flavour.
• For the second mix, we will use the sprats in a carrot-curry sauce. To add to it, finely chop celery and garlic, and add a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
• For the third mix, we will prepare sprats with vegetables. To do this, we will mix finely chopped onions and cherry tomatoes with some spring onions and garlic and add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zing.
• Now that we have our three mixes ready, let’s place each one in a separate serving bowl. Arrange the bowls on a big plate, along with the tortilla chips and grissini breadsticks. To add some color and freshness, garnish the plate with micro greens.

Tips:

• To give the tapas a bit of heat, add some finely chopped chili pepper to the mix.
• Instead of cherry tomatoes, try using sun-dried tomatoes for a more intense flavor.
• Use a mandolin to slice the cucumber pickle very thinly, creating a delicate texture that goes well with the fish.
• Add a bit of honey to the mixture to balance out the acidity from the lemon juice and capers. Just a little is enough, as you don’t want it to be too sweet.
