This great collection of Spanish Tapas Recipes feature an array of great small plates for you to enjoy. We love this espinacas con garbanzos:

A flavour explosion - creamy basil whipped feta with sun-dried tomato pesto potatoes that have been roasted to crispy perfection and then coated in a gorgeous homemade sun-dried tomato pesto made with almonds.

A delicious Mediterranean-inspired appetizer featuring baked feta cheese surrounded by olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Drizzled with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, and served warm with French bread or crostini, it's a savory delight perfect for any occasion.

Chimichurri is lively, with loads of parsley and oregano; bracing, with garlic, crushed red pepper and red wine vinegar; and rich, from buttery olive oil — all attributes that do wonders for meatballs. Add a generous amount of the Argentinian sauce to the ground-beef mixture, then roll and sear the meatballs until crispy and browned. (You can also broil for 7 to 10 minutes.) Serve as an appetizer, with more chimichurri alongside for dipping, or make the meatballs into a meal with couscous…

Inspired by a small plate from Trust restaurant in San Diego!

Up your appetizer game with a sweet and spicy whipped feta crostini, complete with hot honey and Sriracha sauce. Laid back enough to serve for a football game, but classy enough to be part of a charcuterie board, we’re big fans of crostini's casual elegance. What are crostini? Crostini are small, almost bite-sized pieces of toasted bread, commonly found in Italian appetizer courses. You can top crostini with a variety of cheeses, cured meats, fruit spreads and more.

A delightful twist on the classic risotto transformed into crispy cakes, served with a tangy lemon aioli and a garnish of fresh microgreens. Perfect for an elegant appetizer or a light main course.

This tasty peach appetizer takes a new spin on caprese salad with a variety of flavors and textures -- and puts it all on a stick.

Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs

For an easy spanakopita, try this version that is made in a pan, then cut into squares. It has all the wonderful taste of the classic version—buttery phyllo with a spinach-cheese filling—but is so simple to do. —Barbara Smith, Chipley, Florida
