We had the pleasure of filming Betty cook 3 wonderful Spanish Tapas dishes. One of them being Chorizo La Sidra.
Betty described Tapas as a social affair and an evolution of all the Spanish foods combined. Its a sharing meal she would have in combination with a few drinks with friends in the Spanish capital of Madrid.
Chorizo la sidra is one of Betty’s favourite dishes it’s a popular tapas dish served all over Spain it is easy to cook and requires very little ingredients. It’s a summer dish and it’s a combination of sharp, tangy flavours that you get from the cured meat of chorizo and sweet summery flavours that you get from cider this dish is incredibly tasty!! Lets cook it!
