VIVE LA FERIA DE ABRIL Y OLÉ!!!

He himself describes this new restaurant as serving “Traditional cuisine with a touch of creativity”, and represents a shift in his past cooking style back to more traditional recipes.  He always insists on using on the highest quality ingredients, ensuring that every single serving produced has the finest tastes.

With authentic Canarian dishes, mixed in with some of the more local dishes from Spain, and a touch of International flavour, the menu itself is well rounded, and nicely filled out by a large selection of local and international wines.

With a four course meal including wine and desserts running to around 25 euros a head, you’ll find the food reasonably priced.

Located in an old house just a stones throw from Plaza del Cristo, the setting is nearly 200 years old, and has a huge patio at the rear with a large bar on the ground floor.

It will take even the most inexperienced of chefs only 15 minutes to prepare, freezes well and is absolutely delicious.

Ingredients (4-6 people)

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped (optional)
390g can of chopped tomatoes (triturado)
300ml vegetable stock
1tsp cornflour
300g small cooked white beans, sold here in jars
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 tbsp Parmesan finely grated
Basil leaves and a little oil to garnish
Black pepper

Method

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the onions and garlic until tender and turning golden. Add the tomatoes and stock and bring to the boil. Blend the cornflour with 2 tbsp of cold water and add to the soup with the beans and chopped basil. Stir until the mixture comes to the boil, turn down and simmer for five minutes. Serve. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, basil leaves decoration and black pepper to taste.

Plump up with pasta: Add 50 grams of small pasta shapes with another 300ml of stock and simmer for 10 minutes not five until the pasta is cooked through.

Beef it up: Buy six ready made meatballs from your local butcher or make your own, and break them into smaller portions. Make five or six mini meatballs from each bigger one and add to the soup just before the simmering stage. Make sure they are cooked through by slicing one in half before serving.

TIP: Few of us have the time these days to stand over the stove and watch each dish through every stage. Try this tip to save burnt offerings when you get distracted whilst something is on the boil. When you have a dish simmering, turn the pan lid upside down over the top of it and fill it with water. The liquid in the pan lid will be consumed before the liquid in the pan, thus saving drying out and burning.

From Island Connections

Thursday the 24th May now has The Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson and Iggy Pop & The Stooges confirmed, while Friday 25th sees Fatboy Slim and Orbital as fully confirmed artists.  All 3 days will have support from local and national bands, and there are more artists still to be confirmed.

It is anticipated that the event could bring over 35,000 people to the island, and whilst artists are yet to be announced, attractions are being discussed, with activites such as Rollerball, F1 simulators, and Skate parks all being arranged for the weekend of the event.

The Mayor of Santa Cruz, José Manuel Bermúdez, was quoted as saying that the event will be above the scale of anything ever seen before on Tenerife.  The Director of LM Producciones, Leopoldo Mansito, said that whilst he doesn’t want to compare the event to other large scale events elsewhere in the world, they are anticipating an ‘amusement park’ feel, with a huge range of activities on offer to complement the music on show.

Ticket prices are currently listed as 60€ for the 24th, 50€ for the 25th, and 60€ for the 26th and a price of 120€ for all three days.  Other tickets are available, and can be seen here.

With events all over the Islands, a grand total of 19 events are being held on Tenerife alone, while Gran Canaria boasts the same amount.  6 will be held in Lanzarote, while 4 events are planned for La Palma, La Gomera, Fuertaventura and El Hierro.

Featuring Orchestras from around Europe, including Tenerife’s own Symphonic Ochestra, for any lover of classical music, or live music in general these events are a delight to behold.

More information can be found at the official website, and tickets can be booked here.

Serving the same great range of fresh Pasta and Pizza dishes as the original in Playa de Las Americas, this combination restaurant and Sports Bar offers delicious food with free home delivery.
