Tapas are popular snacks that originated in Spain. They have assorted key ingredients that vary from being an appetiser to a full-course meal, normally served in small amounts or on enormous plates. Tapas are either free or ordered in a bar. The varieties are endless, and it’s one of the major reasons people all over the world love it. They are essentially a lifestyle, and every bar defines itself with the diverse tapas served.
In Spain, you won’t normally find the word “tapas” in a bar’s menu. You may, however, find the word “raciones” – which means “rations” or large servings – or “mediaraciones“, servings in half a plate.
The Limitless Variations
Tapas can be anything – from tuna chunks to fried baby squid (chopitos), chorizo sausages and many others. In many local bars and restaurants around Spain, tapas contain strong spices and herbs. Seafood-based tapas are often served as well, sometimes with either heap of olive oil in them, or with green and red bell peppers, or in a tomato puree or sauce.
These delicious snacks are also called pinchos in the northern areas of Spain. “Pinchos” derives from the toothpick (called “pincho” in Spanish) that holds all the ingredients together on top of a lightly toasted slice of bread. The toothpicks also help keep track of the number of tapas consumed per customer.
Philippines – Known locally as pica-pica (finger food) or pulutan (meaning “to pick up”) in Tagalog
Argentina and Uruguay – Picada, servings of cold dishes such as olives, ham, cheese, bologna, etc.
Brazil – Tira-gostos, side dishes with more rare and traditional varieties, that accompany beer and other alcoholic drinks
Italy – Cicchetti, normally eaten for lunch or in the late afternoon as a snack
Korea – Anju, a Korean term for food served with alcohol
Tapas are conveniently easy to make

This Hummus & Chicken Soup recipe is your new favourite thing.
If you haven’t tried putting hummus in your chicken soup, then you need to start doing it. This hummus and chicken soup recipe will show you how you can incorporate some hummus into your soup.
A stunning chicken and vegetable soup with the added bonus of a generous amount of hummus. Hummus makes for a creamy soup and has some stunning thickening qualities. Not only does it give the soup a beautiful texture, but it also brings some incredible health benefits.
With added protein and fibre, the chickpeas in the hummus also pack a punch of calcium and potassium. If you already have hummus in the fridge, then you can add your lovely home made hummus to the soup but this recipe also works with store bought hummus. Although we would highly recommend making your own hummus, as it is much lighter and creamier and you know exactly what is in there.
Now lets talk about the chicken. You can use a BBQ chicken from your local supermarket, or cook the chicken at home. If you are cooking at home, go for a boneless piece such as a breast. The chicken is going to bring a lot of tastiness to this soup so be sure to grab a decent piece or a well seasoned BBQ chook. Also you can season the chicken because the taste transfers well into the soup, so don’t be afraid to put some chicken seasoning in there.
You can choose any vegetables you like in this soup, depending on what you fancy and what you have in the fridge or freezer. We can recommend that capsicum and broccoli go really well here. The soup also has brown rice to give it that extra punch.
You will need the following ingredients for this recipe.
Ingredients
1 x BBQ chicken from the supermarket deli or 1 large chicken breast which has been seasoned, then cut into pieces and fried in olive oil
Olive Oil
Half a cup of Hummus (home made preferred but store bought is ok)
1 Green Capsicum
1 Cup of Fresh Broccoli
1 Cup of Brown Rice (Cooked)
2 Cups of Chicken Broth
Method
Put the chicken broth, brown rice and hummus into a large saucepan and mix together. Bring gently to the boil and add capsicum & broccoli. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until vegetables are cooked but firm. Don’t let them get floppy.
This simple 5 minute hummus recipe can be prepared so fast, we call it five minute hummus! There are so many variations and so many people have tweaked the recipe to suit their tastes, that most of the ingredient amounts are more of a guide. Some people like more lemon, some like less. Some like fresh lemon (yes please!) while others prepare lemon juice from a bottle. So with this in mind, our simple recipe is a good place to start and you can build on it as you go.
All hummus contains chickpeas as it is a chickpea dip and guess what? It’s super healthy so you will find this dip will go with more types of diets or weight loss programs. And with so many ways to make this your own, you will find yourself going back to this dip every time.
Whether you go for a thicker or more watery consistency, we recommend you use entire cans of chickpeas and you can play with the other ingredients to taste. For example you can add more lemon or less tahini if you are using it. If you begin with a definite about of chickpeas then you have a good starting place and can add or subtract from there.
When you are making it, try using some of the juice from the can, as this can give it a bit more flavor and most people find the taste agreeable. There are also endless ways to present it depending on where it will be eaten. Now, let’s get ready to make it!
Ingredients
1 x can of chickpeas – drained and rinsed – Keep a portion of the juice to use in the dip.
2 x small cloves of fresh garlic – We prefer fresh but you can use prepared garlic if you prefer.
Olive Oil – Half for the dip and the rest for a garnish
Half a Lemon – or you can use a tablespoon of lemon juice from a bottle
2 x Tablespoons of Tahini dip if you are using it
½ teaspoon of ground cumin – you can use less or more depending on your taste
½ teaspoon of paprika or sumac – you can use less or more depending on your taste
Pinch of salt – depending on your taste, you might want to leave this one out.
Method
Mix all ingredients (except olive oil and sumac) in your food processor and slowly add olive oil to get a good consistency. Add a little bit of water if you prefer it thinner.
Transfer dip to a serving bowl or plate and smooth over the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle sumac over the top for a nice contrast.
Pour olive oil over the entire top of the dip.
Serving Tips
Serve with some black olives and flat breads or with some chopped fresh parsley and some whole chickpeas for decoration.
