You find these mushrooms served in little ceramic casseroles at tapas bars all over Spain. It's a simple hors d'oeuvre that can be made ahead and reheated. In Spain, it would be made with about four times as much olive oil and served in small ceramic cazuelas. You also can serve the mushrooms with toothpicks.

Turn the heat down to medium, and continue to cook, stirring or tossing in the pan from time to time, until the mushrooms are tender, five to 10 minutes.

SPANISH MUSHROOMS IN GARLIC SAUCE (TAPAS)
Tapas are unique in that they are not eaten at home but are found only in tascas, where they are available from before lunch to late at night. Unlike American bars, these lively, family-oriented establishments cater to a clientele that is more interested in eating than in drinking, and their arrays of edibles tempt many people to skip dinner altogether in favor of making a meal of these luscious snacks. The word tapa means "cover" or "lid". There are two kinds of tapas: naturals, serves as is, such as olives, cheeses, oysters, ham, and sausages; and de cocina, usually cooked, which are served hot or cold. Offer tapas with wine or Sherry, or, in summer, with sangria, or some other cooling beverage.

MUSHROOM TOAST TAPAS
I had been wanting to try this recipe for a long time, and I'm glad I finally did. It was wonderful, and would make a great appetizer, first course, or even (as I had it) a very light dinner or lunch. I used parmesan cheese and dried parsley instead of fresh (I added the dried while cooking the mushrooms so the mushroom liquid would help reconstitute the parsley), and I combined two cooking methods (since there is a choice). Instead of frying or simply broiling, I brushed the pan and the tops with just a touch of olive oil and then put it under the broiler. The various cooking methods are explained at the bottom of the recipe. If you like mushrooms, I think you'll love this. The time is approximately what it took me to prepare them to the point of cooking. Since the different cooking methods have different times, I did not include that. I don't remember where I got the recipe from, but I'm glad I did.

Steps:
- Prepare the white sauce by melting the butter over a low to medium heat in a saucepan and adding the flour.
- Cook and stir for a few minutes, then add the milk and wine gradually and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth.
- Season with the salt, pepper, nutmeg (to taste) and cayenne (to taste); although it is recommended to be generous with both the cayenne and nutmeg, it is your choice.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat the oil until it is very hot; add the mushrooms and saute over high heat for about 2 minutes.
- (I added the dried parsley about 1 minute into the cooking time. If using fresh, wait until the next step.) If the mushrooms give off liquid, cook until it is evaporated before continuing.
- Add the garlic, parsley (if not added before), ham, salt and pepper and turn off the heat.
- Combine with the white sauce, stir in cheese, and mix until smooth and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- The mixture may be made ahead to this point and refrigerated.
- Toast the bread lightly and cut each slice into two triangles.
- Cover each triangle completely with 1/8 of the mushroom mixture.
- There are a number of ways you can prepare this: Broil until golden, place them face down in 1/2 inch of hot oil to fry, or enclose in puff pastry dough.
- If using puff pastry dough, you will need about 1 pound of pastry; cut the pastry into 3" strips and wrap them around 2 teaspoons of filling.
- Bake at 400 for 8 minutes.
- You can also use the filling for small pastry puff tart shells.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked mushrooms will be tough and chewy.
- Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately, while they are still hot. They can be served as a tapas dish, or as a side dish to a main course.
Conclusion:
La Mancha mushroom tapas is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The mushrooms are tender and flavorful, and the Manchego cheese adds a nice salty tang. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
