Galicia, an autonomous region at the most north-westerly tip of Spain, is home to some of the best food in the world. Stunning seafood, exquisite empanadas, the finest pork and unique and interesting vegetables are cooked with passion throughout the area. That’s why we were thrilled to team up with Estrella Galicia to host a six-course Galician dinner at Tapas Brindisa Battersea on 11 April.
Cooking the food was chef Yago Crego, a born-and-bred Galician from the city of Ferrol who now heads up the kitchen at Tapas Brindisa Battersea. Taking inspiration from the recipes of his hometown, he recreates authentic dishes with contemporary twists that breathe new life into Galician cuisine.
Each of Yago’s six courses was perfectly paired with one of Estrella Galicia’s five beers. As Spain’s largest independent brewery, Estrella Galicia was established in 1906 and continues to be family-owned, still brewing its beer in the city of A Coruña where it was first founded thanks to the impeccable quality of the local water.
The dinner took place on Thursday 11 April at 7.30pm, with the following dishes served:
