Seville’s favourite tapas Isabel Aguilar

Since tapas became a kind of philosophy of life, representing our gastronomy internationally, it seems that various Spanish cities have been competing to be recognised as the source of this distinctive form of eating and socialising. The name “tapa”, as you may know, means a “lid” or “cover”, and its usage comes from when people used to “cover” their glasses of wine so that flies couldn’t get in. What is indisputable is that this way of life – eating small portions of food while standing, and then going straight to another bar to repeat the activity – is a longstanding tradition found in the south of Spain, in Andalusia.

Seville Bars and Restaurants by GURMÉ

TRADITIONAL AND MODERN TAPAS BARS A decade ago, a couple of new tapas bars opened in Seville that radically changed the landscape of the city’s gastronomy. One of them was Pura Tasca, located in a residential area of Triana, and the other, La Azotea, opened right in the city In any case, all over Seville these two approaches centre in Calle Jesús del to food coexist in harmony, so that everyone can Gran Poder. The former choose whichever one appeals to them most. If defined itself at the time we had to mark out the respective areas for each, as a “taberna gastrowe could say that the historic centre and the El bar” – a new addition Porvenir district are the areas that put most to the Sevillian lexicon. emphasis on new cuisine, while areas like Triana What lay behind those and Los Remedios keep the more traditional words was a new way of styles alive. Buhaira, another of the most popular doing things: brand new areas, maintains a balance between both forms. creations, new takes on In conclusion, it must be said that the fruit of the traditional tapas, and – hard work of the past decade is that we now eat in both cases – absolute a lot better in Seville – before, we just had great respect for the final tapas, but now the range of cuisine is much wider product. and the restaurant trade has become more professional to meet the expectations of the growing numbers of tourists.

02. ↑

The second-most popular tapa is snails. The local equivalent to the famous French dish is one of the favourite dishes among Sevillians and is in season between mid-May and mid-July. The little snails are stewed with an array of spices (coriander, paprika, cumin, thyme, cloves, etc.), resulting in a delicious spicy broth. Every bar in Seville has its own recipe and contests are held each year to decide on the best. The traditional sport in Seville in the summer is to sit down at an outdoor table and enjoy them with a nice cold Cruzcampo beer.

TRADITIONAL TAPAS Not long ago, ABC newspaper’s gastronomic portal GURMÉ.es ran a survey asking Sevillians to vote for their favourite traditional tapas. In the following guide, we take you through their top choices, so that when you arrive at the counter or sit down at a table in one of the city’s many bars you can feel – gastronomically speaking – like a local.

01. ↑

The tapa that tops the list of favourites is Serrano ham. Probably one of the oldest tapas in our city, Serrano ham takes first place for two reasons. Firstly, because the ham eaten in our city is excellent, thanks to our proximity to the mountain ranges of Huelva, Seville and Cordoba, which are home to some of the best producers. And secondly, because Seville maintains the tradition of hand-cutting the ham in front of the customer. And not much can beat a freshly cut, delicately thin slice of ham from an Iberian pig. By the way, besides the traditional tapa of ham in a bar or restaurant, Sevillians’ favourite way of eating it is for breakfast, in the form of a ham and olive oil tostada (topped on toasted crusty bread).

03. ↘

Third place goes to ensaladilla, a potato-based salad. This is another dish that is omnipresent in Seville’s restaurants. Its starting point is very simple: chopped boiled potato with olive oil mayonnaise. From there on, the most common addition is prawns or langoustines as a third ingredient, resulting in a prawn salad. Another standard is “Russian” salad, in which the prawns are replaced by cooked and diced peppers, carrots and peas, and sometimes also mackerel. Recently, octopus salad has risen in popularity too.

05. ←

The fifth tapa in the top ten is spinach with chick peas. Although this dish is enjoyed primarily in the spring, coinciding with the days leading up to the Easter week celebrations, it is a mainstay of bar menu boards all year round. The basic recipe is fairly simple but each bar adds its own special flavour and the dish has clear roots in Arab cuisine, with its use of spices. The absence of meat makes it vegetarian-friendly and it’s as nutritious as anything a nutritionist might recommend to those of us trying to eat sensibly.

04. ↘

Number four on our list is adobo (battered fish). There is a great tradition in Seville of frying fish, and until not so long ago there were dozens of fried fish shops all over the city, where locals would buy the dish to take away and eat at home. Of all the fried fish dishes, adobo is the most popular. Usually it is made with dogfish – a fish with very white flesh and a fairly bland taste, which is improved by the addition of batter. In this dish, the batter is made with flour, garlic, vinegar, paprika, salt and oregano.

EDITORIAL

07. ↓

Croquettes, in seventh place, are one of the tapas to have evolved the most in recent years. The key to making a great croquette is to combine a tasty filling with a light béchamel sauce and then cover it with a light and crispy coating. The most traditional fillings are ham or chicken, but nowadays you can find more varieties than you could possibly imagine. Some of the most popular modern fillings are oxtail, prawns and wild mushrooms.

06. ↑

Sixth place goes to a pork dish: solomillo al whisky. This tapa is indisputably Sevillian in origin but has spread over time to other provinces. It’s easy to make, consisting of a tenderloin fillet of Iberian pork, which is pan-fried in a small quantity of olive oil and then served topped with a sauce made of olive oil, garlic, butter, meat stock and brandy. Yes, that’s right, it does not actually contain whisky but rather Spanish brandy. In lots of bars it is served between two slices of rustic bread to make a glorious hot crusty sandwich.

08. ↙

Carrillada (pork or beef cheeks). There is no great secret to making a good carrillada other than high-quality beef or pork and sufficient time: first to cook it and then to allow it to rest, so that it melts in the mouth. The meat is usually stewed with onions, peppers, garlic, carrots, bay leaf, black pepper, paprika, tomatoes and salt. Red wine is added and the ingredients are slowcooked on a low heat until tender.

10.

NEW TAPAS

In ninth place, we have the famous Spanish omelette. It is interesting that this dish comes fairly low down in Sevillian preferences, considering it is one of the most common dishes in Spain. The reason for this is perhaps that, due to its somewhat cumbersome preparation, it has never had a very prominent position among the dishes available in our bars. But you will definitely find it, nonetheless. And whether served on its own or with a little mayonnaise, it’s a real delicacy.

New tapas, increasingly sophisticated and international, are continually making their debuts in Seville’s bars and restaurants. The following examples have been delighting customers at bar counters and tables across the city for years now: mini-hamburgers (miniature versions of traditional burgers, often elaborately made); raw fish served as tartar (especially tuna tartar, which has become an almost essential tapa on many menus), marinated sardines, grilled octopus and there are nods to Italian cuisine in the form of risottos (especially made with wild mushrooms), as well as Mexican (chicken tacos), Moroccan (rich pastries), American (baby back ribs), but most of all, Asian (tataki, vegetable stir-fry, gyoza, nigiri, tartar, tempura, etc.).

10. ↘

Tenth among the top tapas is the montadito, which comes in a myriad of varieties. In Seville, montadito is the name given to a small crusty sandwich served hot. As with croquettes, the range of fillings available for montaditos is as wide as the chef’s imagination. Some of the most popular ones are pringá (a combination of meats and cured sausages), spicy chorizo, serranito (Serrano ham, pork fillet, peppers and tomato) and pork and brie, just to name a few!

11.

SELECTION

Mercado de Feria

01.

n the historic food market on Calle Feria stands the Lonja de Feria, a must-visit gastronomic point blending the most traditional products with creative fusions and new proposals.

Several of the market’s terraces are located in the lively Plaza de Calderón de la Barca, beside the Palace of the Marqueses de la Algaba, emblem of mudéjar art.

02.

Fresh fish just arrived from the market, delicious rices, traditional stews, salmorejo (a cold soup), croquettes, cabrillas (groupers), or a good plate of breadcrumbs on Saturdays and Sundays, mean the visitor enjoys the tastes of the land. And for the most international palates, the Lonja de Feria has stalls offering Mexican-Peruvian and Japanese food.

On certain days there are live shows and cultural events.

03.

The entire milieu breathes history and a Bohemian atmosphere.

SELECTION

Mano de Santo M

ano de Santo was one of the first authentic tacos restaurants to open in Andalusia. This is not just another Tex-Mex (a formula that has proliferated in Spain to the point of trivialising Mexican gastronomy and reducing it to clichés). At Mano de Santo, there is real cuisine – high in quality, with elaborate creations that convey love for good produce and Mexico’s wealth of recipes. The head chef, Edgardo M. Nieto, is Mexican. And a large proportion of the products he uses for his dishes are imported from his homeland. Take for example the tortillas, which are made each week using genuine nixtamal corn flour produced in Mexico.

“There is an exotic touch in every dish, where local fresh produce is combined with Mexican ingredients”

01.

Mano de Santo is one of the establishments to have revolutionised the culinary offering at Alameda de Hércules. Alameda

La Santa María

01.

nside the Hotel Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento, we find the gastrobar La Santa María, an establishment that pays tribute to the discovery of America and to Seville’s links with the New World.

The cuisine is based on the quality of the ingredients and the use of local, seasonal produce.

02.

La Santa María’s indoor dining area is filled with light.

Indeed this is the theme for its gastronomic concept, which is summed up by the slogan “tapas viajeras” (“tapas that travel”): a fusion of Andalusia’s most traditional cuisine and some of the surprising flavours to have arrived from America. All in all, a fabulous space where you can enjoy an intriguing meal, or simply a coffee or a glass of wine on their spectacular terrace.

03.

The sunny outdoor terrace is a particularly pleasant spot.

Seville’s 100-year-old bars and taverns Isabel Aguilar

Here are some of Seville’s dining destinations that don’t hang up their “Closed” sign between lunch and dinner.

El Rinconcillo (1670)

↑

Although its history goes back to 1670, the family that currently manages El Rinconcillo bought it in 1864. At present, the seventh generation of the De Rueda family dishes up a menu of delicacies that have been winning the hearts of Sevillians and visitors from far and wide for decades. Among these are: battered cod bites, ham croquettes, cod with tomato, and spinach with chickpeas.

Sevillian gastronomy has taken shape over a period of decades in the kitchens of bars and taverns that started out as nothing more than wine sellers, but which have become the guardians of our local recipes. Here, we introduce you to some of the oldest of them, dotted around the city. All of these establishments conserve all the original flavour of their roots, but have modernised just enough to make it seem as though nothing has changed.

This is a traditional Andalusian kitchen where olive oil, garlic and tomato are the key ingredients used in their dishes. Génova, 40

Bodeguita Casa Morales (1850)

Las Teresas (1870)

↑

This bar is packed with history – its interior lives and breathes Seville, demonstrating a true love of tradition. Since the outset it has been best known for its acorn-fed jamón ibérico, a fact testified to by the 100 or more hams hanging from the bar. Its main specialities are also based on Iberian ham, alongside other dishes like solomillo al whisky (made with pork tenderloin), spinach with chickpeas, and pork fillet with tomato. They have also modernised their menu with Kobe beef, Barbate-certified bluefin tuna and an assortment of fried fish, including cuttlefish, anchovies and squid.

This bodega has remained in the hands of the Morales family since the year in which it was established, offering customers traditional tapas, as defined by them. Currently, Reyes Morales is in charge and her most traditional offerings include offal, spinach, potato salad and homemade pringá, as well as stuffed eggs, pork cheeks and pork scratchings, which are the dishes ordered most by her customers. In recent years though, they have begun adding new items to their menu, including a variety of dressings, cured meats, ham and oxtail. García de Vinuesa, 11

Bar El Comercio (1904)

↑

Since opening in 1904, this bar has stayed in the hands of the Rivera family, and thanks to them it has remained almost unchanged. Its old-fashioned tiles depicting brands of sherry, the wooden bar counter, marble tables and ornate windows are like a museum dedicated to high-quality wines and spirits. The kitchen has been scaled back and only on Saturdays does it offer grilled meats and, if you hit lucky, a highly recommended dish of offal (menudo). Other tapas the bar is famous for include its excellent montaditos (crusty sandwiches) with fillings such as the house special (Spanish omelette, fish and peppers), black pudding or mantecadito al whisky (made with pork medallions) with chips crammed in too. It also serves breakfasts and its churros con chocolate are well worth going for.

Bodega Díaz-Salazar (1908)

↑

In the heart of the Arenal district you will find Bodega Díaz-Salazar, a traditional wine tavern established by a family from Castilla-La Mancha who brought the cuisine from their native region to this little corner of Seville. This explains why its stand-out offerings are Almagro marinated aubergines, Manchego cheese and flaming chorizo. Ten years ago, they installed a full kitchen, allowing them to extend the menu, which until then had been based on stews and the aforementioned specialities. In the late 1950s and early 60s, this bodega was a popular meeting point for students and artists, as well as politicians and theatre lovers.

El 3 de oro (1917)

Bodeguita La Aurora (1913)

↑

El 3 de Oro is a bar that opened its doors in 1917. Over several decades it developed a reputation as a meeting place for bullfighters, footballers and other celebrities from the last century, until 1979 when it came into the hands of the current owners, the Fernández del Toro family, who also run the Puerta de la Carne fried fish shop and the Hotel Puerta de Sevilla. Located near the site of the former Puerta de la Carne, one of the historic gateways to Seville, this is an excellent place to get to know Sevillian culture and cuisine first hand. The proprietors use seasonal vegetables, grown in their own garden, to make healthy, Mediterranean fare to serve their customers. Their recipes include home-grown artichokes pan-fried with prawns and Iberian ham, a millefeuille of seasonal vegetables, a variety of rice dishes, oxtail, and Galician-style octopus with boulangère potatoes and paprika.

↑

Flaming chorizo and pringá are among the veteran tapas served at this centrally located bodega in Alfalfa, which is also a haven for good wines, just as it has been since the early years. The decor remains intact, as does the wooden bar counter at which so many Sevillians have enjoyed its delicacies. The potato salad, stuffed eggs and montaditos are among its other strong points, making perfect tapas to be washed down with a beer or one of its wines. Bullfighters and poets have featured among the regulars of this bodega, which celebrated its centenary a few years ago. Pérez Galdós, 9

Sherry wines make a come-back Isabel Aguilar

Although the favourite drink among Sevillians is still Cruzcampo beer (the company has had a brewery in our city since 1904), in recent years there has been a renewed interested in sherry wines, which are full of personality. However, there is a long way to go until they attain the position they truly deserve. Juan Ruiz, sommelier at Aponiente – a restaurant with three Michelin stars – is an ardent supporter of these wines. Here, he talks us through the current situation for wines with the Denomination of Origin of Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla de Sanlúcar – wines that were talked about by Shakespeare and Cervantes in their time. 90.

Seville Bars and Restaurants by GURMÉ

A distinctive ageing process and a higher alcohol content are the two defining characteristics of vinos generosos (sherry wines), although there are a great many other qualities besides these that give wine lovers plenty to enjoy. Andalusia has been producing wines for millennia and the quality that has been achieved with its vinos generosos is comparable with their counterparts from other countries that benefit from equally long histories, such as port, madeira and marsala. Although their production is concentrated in the areas of Montilla-Moriles, Condado de Huelva and Jerez, we will focus on the latter of these, guided by the expert knowledge of Juan Ruiz, sommelier of the Aponiente restaurant.

“a luxury bestowed on us by this magical land, and we don’t always show them the appreciation they deserve”

Juan Ruiz has no hesitation in proclaiming them “a luxury bestowed on us by this magical land, and we don’t always show them the appreciation they deserve”. Juan agrees that in recent years the interest in these wines has grown, but he insists that there is still a great deal of “gastronomic ignorance” preventing the general public from really getting to know them properly. “They aren’t necessarily easy wines to drink, so it is important to keep talking about their characteristics so that they can be understood, because as their very name tells us, they are very generous and have a lot to offer us – more than we sometimes realise,” he says. The first step is to understand their history and characteristics, bearing in mind that vinos generosos can be complex. “There’s something magical about them, not only due to the quality of the soil or the climatic conditions, but because of the quality of the air here – that’s what makes them different from other wines in Spain and around the world,” Juan explains. The proximity of the sea, the level of humidity and the westerly and easterly winds that caress the area’s chalky albariza soil, together with the careful selection of grapes, are key to the uniqueness of the wines produced in the Marco de Jerez area.

91.

EDITORIAL

with the world of wine, Juan Ruiz has no hesitation in recommending fino, fino en rama or manzanilla en rama, all of which make excellent accompaniments to any dish, tapa or snack.

Ageing Vinos generosos are always fortified with alcohol: once the 11% grape must has been produced, an ageing process raises it above 17%. “The important thing isn’t the alcohol, but how it is incorporated into the flavour without it standing out too much.”

More experienced wine lovers may wish to opt for a variety obtained through oxidative ageing, such as an amontillado aged for around 15 years, which is an excellent choice to go with traditional dishes made with tripe or other kinds of offal. “If you’re looking for something to go with strongertasting food, such as a good cheese, the ideal choice is a good glass of oloroso, whose flavour offers hints of varnish, wood and resin.”

Juan Ruiz explains that when the wines are very old, the concentration of alcohol increases and can reach as much as 22%, and reiterates that in these cases it is not the alcohol that is important, but the final flavour. This is why he feels it is not easy to get to know sherry wines.

For a special occasion, nothing beats a palo cortado – a wine that wants to remain a fino, but is in love with the amontillado and has an aroma of oloroso. “It can drive you crazy when you drink it because of its array of nuances, as it has everything,” Juan says.

Wine culture This expert oenologist believes that although change is afoot in the current wine culture that exists in our society, there is still a long way to go. “We need to be more gastronomically educated, and while it is true that sherry wines are being valued more, they aren’t being drunk. We are in a country with incredible variety and richness, and yet we are defeatists when it comes to standing up for what is ours, because sherry wines are more highly valued outside Spain than they are here.”

Courtesy of the Regulatory Board for the Denominations of Origin for Sherry, Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Sherry Vinegar, here are some interesting facts about the various types of vinos generosos in the area. Read on to learn more: Manzanilla: is a dry white wine made from palomino grapes and aged under a layer of yeasts know as veil de flor. It is produced exclusively in the bodegas of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. A very bright, pale straw coloured wine. A sharp, delicate bouquet with predominant floral aromas reminiscent of chamomile, almonds and dough.

In his opinion, we need to start from scratch and encourage culinary culture more from the childhood years. “In France, children have various gastronomy-related subjects at school and if you go to areas like Burgundy or the Loire Valley everyone really values and stands up for what they have there.”

What to drink it with: Shellfish, fried whitebait, anchovies, cured sausages, salads, cold soups...

“Things you didn’t know about sherry wines”

EDITORIAL

Fino: is a dry white wine made from palomino grapes, which, as is the case with Manzanilla, is aged under a layer of yeasts which make up the veil of flor. It is stored and aged in American oak butts using the traditional solera y criaderas system in the bodegas of Jerez de la Frontera and El Puerto de Santa María.

Ranging from rich amber to deep mahogany in colour, the darker the wine the longer it has been aged. Warm, rounded aromas which are both complex and powerful. Predominantly nutty bouquet (walnuts), with toasted, vegetable and balsamic notes reminiscent of noble wood, golden tobacco and autumn leaves.

Ranging from bright straw yellow to pale gold in colour. A sharp, delicate bouquet slightly reminiscent of almonds with a hint of fresh dough and wild herbs.

What to drink it with: Mature cheese, stews, offal, oxtail, pork cheeks or trotters… Palo cortado: a wine of great complexity which combines the delicate bouquet of an Amontillado with the body and palate of an Oloroso. Chestnut to mahogany in colour with a complex bouquet which harmonises the characteristic notes of Amontillados and Olorosos, citric notes reminiscent of bitter orange and lactic notes suggestive of fermented butter. It has a deep, rounded, ample palate with smooth, delicate aromatic notes appearing in the aftertaste, leading to a delicious lingering finish.

What to drink it with: Cured sausages, salt-cured meat and fish, fresh fish and shellfish… Amontillado: is a very unique wine due to its dual aging process: first under the veil of flor, typical of Fino and Manzanilla, followed by a period in which the flor disappears and the wine is exposed to oxidation. Made from palomino grapes, this fusion of aging processes makes the Amontillado wines extraordinarily complex and intriguing.

What to drink it with: Nuts, mature cheese, rich consommés, casseroles.

This is an elegant wine which ranges from pale topaz to amber in colour. Its subtle, delicate bouquet has an ethereal base smoothed by aromas of hazelnut and plants; reminiscent of aromatic herbs and dark tobacco. What to drink it with: Wild mushrooms, vegetables like artichoke and asparagus, bluefin tuna, pan-fried or with onions… Oloroso: is a wine made from palomino grapes. The special structure that it demonstrates at an initial tasting destines it for oxidative ageing. For this reason alcohol is added to 17°, thus preventing the development of the veil of flor and allowing the wine to age while exposed to oxygen. The result is a wine both structured and complex.

Tucker

rancis Ford Coppola’s film ‘Tucker: The Man and His Dream’ is the surprising inspiration for the name of this establishment, which has now re-opened in a new location, in Triana, with a totally new food concept. Tucker’s specialities are based on Andalusian cuisine, their skills being put to particularly good use in their fried fish and traditional stews.

01.

The original Tucker was a pub/cafe located in the Nervión neighbourhood.

Its owner, Antonio Enrique Fraile, wanted to pay tribute to that earlier project with the opening of this gourmet venture.

Cruzcampo O

ne thing we should be thankful for with the passing of time is all the experience it brings with it – experience that goes into making everything better. It has taken Cruzcampo’s master brewers more than 100 years to bring us this unique creation: Cruzcampo Especial. The reason for its name is clear after the first mouthful of this refreshing beer. We don’t know if it’s because of that perfect blend of bitter and intense flavour, or the full body that hides behind its glowing pale appearance and pleasant head with its fruity aroma. What we do know is that the new Cruzcampo Especial is the result of more than 100 years of brewing expertise and skill.
