SPANISH TAPAS PLATTER

-

TAPAS is a crowd-pleaser, but can be high in SmartPoint­s. We’ve kept the SmartPoint­s down in this healthier version, though – and your guests will never notice. Save time by making the tortilla, meatballs, carrots and aioli the day before and store in the fridge. Take the tortilla and carrots out 1 hour before serving. Reheat the meatballs gently in a pan with a splash of water. Serves 6.
