Spanish Party Ideas
Need help with your Spanish party ideas? Here's
a few things to help you get started with a Spanish themed babeque or
party.
OR ENTER OUR SHOP HERE TO GET INSPIRED.
Sainsbury's is a good place to start as they sell things like
pre-made Sangria in a bottle (great!) get yourself a few bottles of that
if you don't have time to make your own, then all you have to do is
pour it into a large punch container or bowl add plenty of chopped
fruit such as apple, pair, orange and pineapple and that's that done!
If however you prefer to make your own, here's a
simple rough recipe : 2 bottles of Sainsbury's basic Spanish vino de
mesa (table wine) it's the cheapest red wine they do which is a good bonus because when I drink it, it seems to help think of more Spanish party ideas!
150ml of vodka, 500ml of diluted orange squash, 500ml of diluted lemon
and lime squash (dilute as if you were to drink normally) 5 sacarine tablets
or sugar to taste, then add ice and fruit as mentioned above.
Sanisbury's also sell sliced Spanish chorizo and cured
ham in a packet ready to eat, just arrange on a large plate with sliced
cheese and sweet red peppers which you can buy pre-cooked in a tin or
jar, you could also put a small mixed dish of sweet silverskin pickled
onions, mini gherkins and pepper filled olives, all can be bought in
jars and have long sell-by dates. Also you could have a selection of
different pate and a good dolop of mayo on a plate with shredded
lettuce and a packet of small savoury biscuits.
For the main food at a BBQ get the largest pork
ribs you can find at the meat counter or butcher's and lightly rub in
some garlic salt which you would find in the spices isle of the
supermarket. Cook them thoroughly especially taking care on BBQ's,
turn them often and cook evenly but don't burn them on the outside!
Also the Spanish love Argentinian Criollo sausages barbequed if you
can find them, if not buy large spicey pork sausages the thicker the
better, when cooked chop them into bite-size pieces. It's also handy
to have a jar of tabasco sauce for your brave "spice merchant" guests
as it has authentic flavour. For your chicken drumsticks marinate them
the night before in chopped fresh garlic and extra virgin olive oil,
sprinkle a little salt on if required just before firing them on the
barby. For your skewed kebabs you want diced pork fresh peppers and
onions, soak the pork over night the same way as the chicken then place the pieces
on your wooden skewers(sold in supermarkets) seperated by pieces of
chopped onions and mixed coloured peppers.Then fire them on aswell!
For desert just buy it pre-made no fuss, a couple of
different flavour cheese cakes, Flan (which the Spanish love) and is on
every menu and assorted ice cream. Get yourself some Spanish music like a few cd's of Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, David Bisbal and Enrique Iglesias and That's it I hope you all have a great
night, don't froget to get a few cases of San Miguel for the male
contingent! Yes I know, women can drink lager aswell! Have Fun!
