Mon. Mar 11
Today was a day for taking Cat to some of my favorite food spots in Madrid— if you’ve visited you might recall some of these treats and obviously as my Madrileñas know they’re in the regular rotation.
Breakfast
Since making black beans, this has very quickly become a hyperfixation meal— it will likely stay that way until I run out of beans.
Melted cheese on tortilla, black beans, fried egg, avocado. Perfection.
Post-Run snack
This would’ve been a really good breakfast were I not obsessed with beans atm. It made a great snack instead— greek yogurt, strawberries, frozen blueberries, and some crunchy cereal (in spanish, couldn’t tell you the name.)
These may not look like much, but they are in fact the best form of potato in the world. Not your average patatas bravas, you can see they’re made up of layers and layers of thinly sliced potatoes. I wish I could tell you how to make them, but alas Tapas Tirso de Molina has not yet decided to share their recipe. If you’re ever in Madrid I highly recommend making a stop at this spot, us Lavapies gals are here at least once a week.
Dinner
My plan was to mix things up and take a photo of each tapa, but once we ordered our wine I promptly forgot. Sorry! Pictured here is a fried green tomato. We also got a noodle dish and a shrimp-in-brioche-with-sauce situation, split between three. La Musa is one of our favorite tapas bars here, and I recently discovered there is one in La Latina much closer to my current apartment! So food was a win, wine was a win, location was a super win, and I have a few more days with Cat here in which we’ll be eating out more than usual before I’m back to recipes next week.
LOVE!
