Pickled Watermelon Radish, Hot Honey

This lovely snack was inspired by the Las Vegas Catalan-cuisine restaurant, EDO Tapas & Wine where it is presented table side under a dome filled with smoke. Chef Oscar Amador’s approach is to add a modern and innovative twist to classic Spanish recipes.

A montadito is a small Spanish sandwich or bite-sized tapa. The name comes from montar (“to mount”), because something tasty is “mounted” on bread. Think of it as Spain’s answer to a crostini or canapé.

Pine Nuts, Bleu Cheese, Red Jalapeño

Here’s a great side dish for Christmas or winter holidays in general. Hot honey’s sweet heat contrasts beautifully with the earthy Brussels sprouts, tangy bleu cheese, and buttery pine nuts. It also ties the flavors together by adding a touch of sweetness and spice. Thinly sliced red jalapeños add that festive touch!

The pine nuts toasty, nutty flavors add another layer of depth and another texture to the dish.
