Spanish Style

Today, I was organising my photos and then I was in this album called "Barcelona 2012". I was really shocked to find this folder because we were looking for these photos everywhere. I can easily say that Barcelona was one of the best I've seen. The dynamic people, amazing cuisine and the fantastic architecture were one of the couple of reasons. But my favourite was the cuisine, as you can imagine. Tapas and paella were incredibly delicious.
As I've said when I was looking at these photos from last year and I saw this amazing "patatas bravas" (a type of tapas). Maybe because that I was really hungry I just looked at it for about 2-3 minutes. So, I just went to youtube and found this video :

I used this exact recipe and it looked like this:

However, I changed some ingredients. For example, I put 2 tbsp. of greek yoghurt instead of just putting mayonnaise in the sauce. I think that yoghurt makes the dish lighter and definitely more healthy than mayo. 
Also, I did not put tomato paste in the sauce. I don't know why but I just didn't want to. 

Although the potatoes were delicious, they were not as crispy as they were in the video. I guess that's because of the type of the potatoes. 

But I was definitely in love with the sauce. 

Note: You will see this plate a lot in the upcoming posts because I love this plate and it's pattern and it is the only plate set that has all 12 plates in it. Others are broken, old or cracked. 

Dish #2: Fried peppers 

This is a very easy and simple dish. And it is one of my mom's favourite dish. 
You just take some couple of green peppers like this and you take of the top. Then you deep fry them until they are soft. Easy, huh?

I didn't realize this before but this dish looks like "Pimientos de Padron". It is also a tapas dish. 

When we were eating these I felt like I was in Spain again. It felt good and they were really yummy.
